Yin-Yang

Watershed, Appalachian Trail

Hosner Mt. Road, Hopewell Junction, NY

I like the connection of the leaves and water in this shot. Kind of a yin-yang quality...two energies interacting...a nice balance. Was a good hike, too, as I recall. The Appalachian Trail cuts through southern Dutchess County for about 30 miles, in through Dover, west over Stormville Mt. (where this shot is taken), down almost to the Fishkill Ridge and then turns south to Putnam County. Lovely, unspoiled hiking under mostly thick forest canopy and close to home...well, for me anyway.
