Figure 1 – The  Cláirseach, Sudbury, MA, (c) DE Wolf, 2014.

There is a bridge over a bog in the Sudbury River watershed on Landham Road, in Sudbury that I often drive over.  It is a beautiful place and I have tried to photograph there in all seasons. I am particularly drawn to old tree stumps and a wonderful beaver dam.  Last Sunday I thought that I would try to capture it in this early spring light.  The sun was reasonably intense and glistened off the water.  Everything was still dead, which won’t last for long.  All the signs of spring are there.  I loved the bearing of this old tree (Figure 1) looking ever so much like an Irish harp or cláirseach. You may recall my blog in January about pareidolia.

As for the blah-de-blah…  This was taken using a monopod with my Canon T2i using my EF70-200mm f/4L USM lens at 84 mm.  I fall in love again with this lens every time. ISO was 400.  Exposure was 1/250 sec at f/11.0.
