A Late Autumn Dream
DESCRIPTION
It was a cold morning in southeast Georgia, USA. The sunlight shone through the bald cypress trees and shaded some lights onto the fog and water, waking up a dreaming forest in late November. Though I had already missed the most beautiful autumn colors, the park was still like an outdoor fine arts museum; no matter what direction my camera pointed, nature’s paintings were everywhere.
