A lake in a park is often photographed once, from the place the sign suggests. I stayed. The surface took three different skies before noon.
Public land is a promise that this kind of waiting is still possible. Not owned. Not scheduled. Held, and walked.
The picture is the easy part. The note is the hour it took for the wind to lie down.
