I’ve been photographing the sunset over Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield, Massachusetts for many years. On this evening I decided to move away from the glowing-clouds-over-the-horizon shot, looking for something else. As soon as I saw the silhouette of the delicate leaves and branches of this (cherry?) tree against the reflection of the orange sky, I thought I’d found a scene that suggested a Japanese water-color painting.
