Swanton, Ohio...about 50 miles west of where I live. Until yesterday, I had never been there. It's the largest of the metroparks in the Toledo area.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

I did a double take on this one. There is a place in the Cleveland Metro Parks, the Rocky River Reservation, near Berea that has a view alomst identical to this. Anyhow, very nice shot that has all aspects of a nice fall day. Well done.

A beautiful autumnal composition Jim. I love the long shadows and there's a whole rainbow of colours on the surface of the lake.

A beautiful place, I'm sure it was worth the trip especially if you can turn out photos like this. Nice comp. and I love the fall colors on the ground and hidden in the back. Well done.

I think you and Shads are spending time in different parks together JimboB. Ohio must have lots of city employees. :)
Good work.
