As I wandered around Lake Kittamaqundi there were numerous places to stop and contemplate, and this was one. I set up the 8×10″ pinhole camera and composed for the lightly moving branches and shadows, opening up to reveal the lake. Following the exposure I decided to next concentrate on the small cloud. I reset the camera, pulled the dark slide, and just before starting the exposure I realized that the small cloud was no longer there.
Sometimes that is just how it works.
Meanderings, at best 
Another lovely image, George!
Wonderful how the foliage and its shadows frame the lake! It looks like a peaceful place to walk.
I’ve had that experience too – yes, sometimes that’s just how it works.
