[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Quabbin reservoir in central Massachusetts has a bittersweet history. In 1938, four towns were relocated to flood this area into a water resource for the booming city of Boston. Although much care and effort went into the relocation, some remnants can be seen when the water level is low.

This trio of submerged rocks seem to have a life of their own due to the simmering veins of light. I think of them as paying homage to those who lived in these towns and whose memories now lie entombed.

Additional Note:
I sat on a partially submerged rock and gingerly used a series of stepping stones to get here, "into" the water. I used my elbows on my knees for the tripod and somehow exited without getting wet feet. KM

Sometimes the water looks really wet! The undulating flow of the ripples is what really makes this shot work.

Hi Kathy,

i like the way you have lowered your camera and taken this photo. Very nice. Only thing I want to ask, did you use polarizer while taking this? If not, I guess using that would have made the sky more blue giving this more bit more contrast.

Nice ripple effect on the rocks and the sunshine too creating magic. Lovely shot.

Nice shot Kathy. You made good use of the wide angle lens because the rocks in the forground make this picture. If anything , i would have used a polarizer. Your explanation about the history of the place is very intresting.
Bravo

Dear Kathy,

The conformity of the bottom of water bed with the trees on top gives me a very nice harmonious feeling.

Hi Kathy,
What I love here is the golden rays in the foreground giving a greenish hue to the rocks, and the clear water deepening into the blue. Your note is very good.
Nice work as usual!
