This image was made on a beautifully sunny, dry day in late September in the Oneida County Forest. This particular location is available only on foot and in the fall due to the water level being low. I came to think of it as my "secret place" even though others have doubtlessly shared the location before (and since). Nothing about the place is particularly unique; shafts of light filter through mature hardwoods and the unhurried pace of the shallow rocky stream bed, make every such place a unique "secret place."
On this page is
one of hundreds of Earth Image Photography, Nature Photography images created
over more than thirty years. There are human interest photographs, humorous
photographs, photojournalism photography, great autumn leaf scenes and closeups
of autumn leaves. Time exposure photography is a large part of the collection
along with nature photography closeups. Wildflower images and snowy winter scenes
and soothing photographs, they're all here. Books are on this site too: We Boiled
Up a Sheet takes place near the duxburynorthpool, and My Summer Office is an
entertaining recounting of summers on the Wisconsin River inside and around
Sonbeam's Secret Channel. Enjoy the wealth of imagery to be found on the
Earth
Image Nature Photography site, both in photography and prose.
