Picture 18 of 28 from Album Single in March

Sometimes we capture the moment, sometimes we miss it. As I pulled into the post office parking lot, a slight opening in the clouds had illuminated the mountain in a beautiful shaft of light. By the time I got parked, the fast moving clouds sealed it off. My whole day was like this. A spectacular sunset and I just didn't get a good shot. So this is what I have to settle for. A little mist, a nice reflection but not the beautiful light I witnessed just moments earlier.

I know what you mean about missing the light, but this is a beautiful scene, nonetheless with a wonderful moody intensity.

This one looks good, I like the framing.
I understand your disappointment because of missing the shot you wanted.
But..... you saw it, so it's still in your memory, like taking pictures with your mind.

Very good! In my eyes it signals spring and warmer weather. Snow, but with the remains of ice floating in the water it is only a question about days before it is all gone

I have learned over the years, if you don't have your camera in hand and ready in those occasions you WILL MISS IT.
I like this photo it tells a lot.

Trying to catch up on albums after being away, and this jumped at me! Brilliant! Well done!

Did you try a crop for more of a landscape thing? This could work a treat!

Definitely know what you mean. Still very nice. My brother lived in Saranac Lake for a time. This reminds me of there. I was there in January, lot more snow.
