Always there is redemption. After harvest come days of joy, awareness and thankfulness. This photograph, which I shot from Almota Road above the Lower Granite Dam in Washington, is a moment in time that holds inside of it a momentary multitude of positive feelings about life (for me) including how much I cherish my relative freedom. The seasons will change – I can’t stay here even for a whole day because I am far from home. Blue and golden hues are pretty expressive already but back in Seattle with my Mac I add contrast and vibrance (a photographer’s word) to the image so the picture on paper will conform to my memory of how it felt.
