Phrasikleia Offline • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Netting the White Whale At long last, this lake decided to show me a little love. I've now lost count of how many times I've visited this location in various seasons for various sunrises, sunsets, and even midday opportunities, and never once did I get any nice color in the sky, despite my best efforts at reading the weather forecasts and satellite images. This time I came to the lake with lower expectations than ever, having long since decided that this place is one of my white whales, and that I should go there to log in some disappointment and get it out the way so that maybe better luck will meet me elsewhere. But this time, I seem to have to have caught this lake with its guard down. Laghi Di Fusine, Veneto, Italy Feb 18, 2013 at 09:54 PM

Phrasikleia Offline • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Netting the White Whale Many thanks for the comments. Jack, thanks also for the comment about my website. I'm actually in the process of migrating it to a new host in the hopes of speeding up the viewing experience, so it may disappear for a few days while the changes propagate. Dave, I got pretty lucky when I found that last bit of open water. A week earlier the entire lake was frozen and covered in a layer of snow, so the lake just looked like a big, snowy meadow. Then the temperatures rose above freezing for a while, and now the ducks have some room to paddle around again. There is a larger area of open water in the distance, and it was full of ducks. I was very lucky that they didn't decide to inhabit *my* opening instead because that would have spoiled the reflection. Anyway, as with most shots, this one resulted from a happy combination of planning and luck. Feb 19, 2013 at 12:23 PM
