seeking significance in the sepia hills

I have lived in these hills all my life and I still can't convey in visual imagery what they mean to me.....

I'm getting better at representing them in the dramatic way they live in my soul.  But I can't say that I've nailed their essence yet.

That's the bad news and the good news.  Because as long as I have more work to do, it keeps my trying to improve, which is an excellent motivation.

I had been waiting for fog for weeks.  The winter weather was cold and then a warm sun would heat up the land, resulting in afternoon or morning fog.  I thought the lake would be the most interesting, but the local town park, with its stark trees and ghostly building proved wonderful too.
