C&O Canal: Shrouded in Fog



This section of the old C&O Canal just west of Hancock MD could easily be confused with a swamp from our deep south if only there were some Spanish moss hanging from the trees.

To capture this image I held the camera only a couple inches above the water. This angle is much easier to obtain with a point&shoot with a flip finder but I was determined and simply aimed the camera by feel and shot numerous images giving myself many frames to choose from.

I sit here in my chair "a few miles away", just waiting for the gator to eject out of water and scare me to d.....

Looks as if it is the Florida Everglades.

I agree with previous comments, nice shot & the alligator must be somewhere nearby!

You definitely fooled me w/ this photo - thought it was a swamp for sure!

Salty: This is a wonderful capture of the swampy looking canal. I can relate to this view.

Great moody shot. I too felt like an alligator's head should be popping up somewhere in the shot.
Love all the subtle green shades.

Good job at getting the shot no matter what.
