Nature

GM... What's everyone up to today? I am preparing my next mint on @rodeodotclub. "Starry Night over Amber Lake" is next in the Emotional Landscape Series, #003. When should I mint this? 

Story:
I was shooting the Big Dipper when a fog bank rolled across Amber Lake in the Catskill Mountains. I noticed the fog was glowing like a desaturated rainbow, my first "fog bow"!

I edited this image 10x over the past two years. Never quite happy with the final image or the idea behind the image. Recently, I saw Starry Night Over the Rhône by van Gogh. I immediately knew what I was after in my image and the idea behind it. van Gogh was inspired by nature, the night sky (the Big Dipper), and the reflective glow of the river. I share those fascinations.

Details I'm focused on in this image:

Rolling fog reflecting moonlight, producing a "fog bow" or white rainbow.
The Big Dipper directly above the fogbow
The fogbow's reflection on the lake
Lily pads in the foreground and the Lakehouse lights, giving this image depth.
