It was my second trip down to the southern Adirondacks this week and the winding roads and sliding contents of the tool box seemed to never end.  When the car finally skidded to a stop the sky had opened up and the water like glass, a great night for virgin chicken and eggplant.

Heavy undertows apparent on the shore of Mirror Lake.

An element of surprise can only explain some of the images captured after the darkness settles in.

If only I could freeze in time.

Taken on a recent trip to North Tonawanda, one of the most tranquil places to swim at night (besides a remote lake).
