Even a dismal swamp can be decorated when morning sun hits remaining golden leaves in a misty fog.

The morning light reveals the beauty of the swamp. Good catch and nice capture.

Thanks for the encouraging words!
I didn't think this dingy old swamp would have anything to do with something as pretty as Christmas.

The morning light, coming orange through the fog certainly changed the whole aspect of that place!

Warm, early morning sunlight can bring out the beauty in places that look unremarkable otherwise. The reds of the barren branches intermixed with the remaining golden leaves really make it pop. Well seen and captured!

Thank you!
Yes, sometimes I feel like I am "violating" the natural image if I "take advantage" of the early morning colored light.

But that is as natural as it really gets, and, as you said, those colors really do make the beauty of the place evident.
Thanks for your observation.

Thanks for the very kind perspective offered in your note!

But the images that I have seen coming out of Tasmania have their own special aura!
Would really like to see one of that swamp that was mentioned--however it might be presented!

Again, thanks for the kind words!
