Fog on the Lake and Shelving Rock Mountain, Lake George, New York
Morning light landscape photograph of the fog on Lake George from upstate New York. Montcalm Point can be seen on the left of the image with gloomy Shelving Rock Mountain behind. The bulge of Dome Island emerges from the still waters of the lake on the left in the background. A feeling of silence, serenity, and tranquility pervades the picture accentuated by the placid waters of the lake and soft textures of the clouds between the point and mountains. One can imagine that a morning such as this would have greeted the Neolithic Native Americans long before industrialization changed so much of the countryside. This primordial tone is tempered by the presence of a motor yacht, barely noticeable, far in the distance of the photo.
