Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. Needing to go for a hike and put the camera to use, I headed to a nearby state park, River Highlands. (It is next to the TPC golf course where the Travelers Championship will be played in a few weeks.) This trail wound its way to the bluffs that overlook the Connecticut River. A little HDR and Color Efex on this photo. Enjoy!

Alot of pretty greens in this one Thad. I will be glad when I can get out again without dodging those pesky tornados.

I'm glad to be doing just that, would be nice to walk in from that special point though. Wonderful capture.

It is perfect Thad. I had the feeling there was a golf course in the area. I hope you took a shot or three.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Looks like a beautiful place for a walk with the camera in hand, Thad. I like the way the path leads the eyes through the shot. Excellent work.

Was smiling about your narrative and Tick's response on that.
The Owd Fella Tick is capable to make from any spot on earth a golf course, lol.
Very good image, the effects are well dosed.

Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becomming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun

A nice smooth and clean looking path; so who's the neat-freak that sweeps it every day? A proper forest path needs debris of some sort that forces the hiker to go out of their way to get around. And where's the squirrel scampering across the path, or bear? Though bears tend to lumber their way through the forest, not so much with the scampering for them.
I like the lighting in this photo, Thad. The leaves create this wonderful green aura. Nice clarity, details and textures. Good work.
