Before going any further I must warn you that the image quality is not my best. The original negative was destroyed from water damage, but that is a very long story. This image is for Bayoubooger the person who loves the swamp. Saturday I posted an image titled Carl and Old Tree. I thought that today I would turn around a show you what Carl was photographing, This may not be a a swamp as you know it but we, (Carl and I) discovered this place in the north/west portion of the Denver/Metro area. Now Colorado has the Rocky Mountains. The Great Sand Dunes, Vast Prairies and... A swamp? Not any more. Sadly, it was filled and homes now stand upon this place that was a sanctuary for birds and other creatures. So this is progress?

Good morning Robert
This image is very striking. The slight degradation in image quality does not detract in any way. There will be a day that the memories captured in images will encourage forward looking planners to return some of what has been lost back over to nature; but it will never be the same.

Success is found by having the courage to let go of known shores.
good morn Mr CF and Annie, looks like a swamp to me... we don't get brown skies, but do get a lot of rain, tree with the birds almost looks like a cypress til you get to the bottom, thanks for the image...

The human heart feels things the eyes cannot see, and knows what the mind cannot understand.

Carl did a good job. I like the inclusion of the roosting birds, they give the image a little extra life and interest. Your intro is a warning to all newbies to look after their original captures no matter what media was used. We possess little that is as precious as our memories.

A picture is a poem without words.
Looks great to me Bob.There seems to be a touch of color in the sky which adds to this nice scene.

Great shot just the same Bob, regardless of the damage. I think, in this case, you didn't the let water win. Glad you left out the back of Carl's head. ;)

The image may have sustained a little water damage but the beauty of it still shines through.

Nice shot, Bob. The monochrome, sepia thing looks excellent, and it allows us to see the shapes of the trees better than we would otherwise.

Now that's a nice looking swamp. I like the color tone you used-terrific lighting and water reflections. Nice foreground of grasses. Overall, a superbly exposed image. It's sad to hear it is no longer there. Thanks for this picture of the past...
