Big sky but little water at Little Lake
This is Little Lake in the Catahoula National Wildlife Refuge near Whitehall, Louisiana. Despite getting some rain (but not a lot), it’s still down following our unusually hot and dry summer this year. Normally, there would be nothing but water visible here. Not deep, but totally flooded. This is typical of many – if not most – lakes in Louisiana right now.
In this image I went for a more minimalist approach than I usually take. This was shot through a manual Ricoh Rikenon P 50mm f/1.7 lens (at f/5.6).
An alternate, even more minimalist, image of three isolated bald cypress trees.
