Raquette River (Landscape)

I took this picture of the river landscape during our class trip to Stone Valley in Colton, New York. The picture of this landscape embodies many aspects of several other pictures I’ve taken. This picture shows a wide view of the Raquette River along with the hardwood forest environment that portrays a range of different tree species. I found this picture interesting because you can see the movement in the stream as well as the falling snowflakes landing on the ground. The atmosphere here has a very peaceful feeling and to me this seemed as a calming photo.
