So having made this attempt to capture this scene in a winter setting I finally got around to taking a second kick at the can. Only to once again come to the realization that I almost got it right. So if you all wouldn't mind taking a half-step to the right and crouch down just a little then the scenes should match up. The next time I try this I'm just going to set the camera up on a tripod and take the first image and then return in six months for the second image. I'm sure the camera and tripod should still be there when I come back.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

It would be like putting an X in the bottom of a boat to mark your favorite fishing spot.
Lighting is very good, Wendell.

Man do I like this one Wendell, that lighting is superb in this capture. It is also well composed, and kind of foreboding beyond the light. Tigs♥ =^..^=

That's an interesting comment Wendell....Marking the 'exact' place for a tripod...then returning to that same spot each month to take the same shot!...be worth seeing just what the changes would be..would also make a great montage!..

Now, you have given me ideas!

Wendell, look what you've done now. You've given "owd" Bob ideas!! Are we ready for that?:):) I felt it was my duty to warn the "C" clan first before saying how totally awesome this image is here. Superb lighting and color. Thanks for this creative render and your fun narrative:):)

I didn't mean to, Bruce. You distract him with something shiny and I'll take away his tripod.
