Here's another view of fall foliage from what was definitely my favorite location for photographing it in 2003: Searsburg Reservoir. This time, I took this image about 45 minutes after sunset; as dusk faded the lighting became soft and subdued, allowing all the colors to assume soft pastel tones. ("Aquarelle" is a French term for a style of painting done using transparent watercolors.) The water also stilled, creating near-perfect reflections.

This has become one of my favorite images. I even used it on the cover page of a technical book I wrote years ago.
