HALE FARM--CVNP  last weekend in October
This is not really a "fine art print" but is one I keep going back to for a few reasons. It was taken on 10/28/06. The dark looming sky in the background was literally the end of fall here in NE Ohio. About 1 to 1 1/2 hrs after this images was taken, all the leaves were blown down We had strong winds, snow, hail, thunder, lightning and it was the end of the season. I was doing my workshop here in the park ( Thank God that most of the participants were from Buffalo so they were usedto shooting in bad weather!) Josh Anderson and Chuck Beatty were also in the neighborhood.

I am sure we will always remember shooting this afternoon and how quick things changed.

Jack - very rich delivery. That afternoon was really crazy!

People also ask: "So, do you work for the newspaper?"

Yup, I remember about 5 minutes after this shot we were all in our cars with the hail, wind & snow blowing on us. Life in NE Ohio.

I remember that afternoon quite well. What a great weekend we had!!!

I think this pano works very nicely. The dark sky really accentuates the colorful trees. NIce job buddy!
