There was a hint of mist on this pond during the early dawn hours. My entry for the current contest. To me, the image exudes a sense of emptiness and solitude. As always, thank you for looking and leaving a comment.

The absolute mirror reflections in the water show clearly how very still and quiet the water was Doug - an excellent and very beautiful entry.

Not only is this perfect for the contest it's perfect for just about anything. It makes me want to be there at that same time, kayaking through the mist with my wife, listening to the soft mutter of insects and wildlife. The scenery is what makes it beautiful solitude, but it's the absence of people that makes it empty and peaceful. Our visit to Lake Kintla, far up the west border of Glacier National Park was like that. Tough to get to, the tourist horde was no where near, only die-hards like us. This is lovely and gets my vote.

Emptiness is not nothingness. It is simply the opposite of full of it.
