Walden Pond

#Nature #Photography #Landscape #Art #Autumn #ConcordMA #Thoreau
Walden Pond The photo shows a calm pond bordered by a forest of snow-dusted evergreen and deciduous trees. The water reflects the trees and gray sky like a mirror. Pine branches frame the view from above and along the sides, and a few brown leaves cling to branches in the foreground. The scene feels quiet and still, with soft winter colors and a light mist hanging over the trees.
