Among Hemlocks
A Rock Elm, late to turn in autumn, stands among a hemlock grove on the South Rim Trail of Taughannock Falls Park, Finger Lakes Region of New York State.

Cayuga Lake from the south rim of Taughannock Gorge, seen through a veil of hemlock and oak. From a place of rest with a comfortable bench. The trail descends to the lake, here we are lower and closer to Cayuga Lake.
I stood in front of the bench, resting the camera body on the fence and braced with my fingers.

For this the foreground was included to increase interest. For added stability, I rested the camera body on the fence bracketed with my fingers.
