I went away for the weekend in upstate New York visiting a friend. Daily
thunderstorms in the area have left the vegetation a lush, saturated
green, and the nearby forests remind me a lot of the primitive landscape
paintings of the 19th century Hudson River School.
I brought only my Leica M system with me and also included a Voigtlander 12mm, and two Leica-R lenses for it, the 80-200mm zoom and 60mm macro.

This forest sunset was taken with the Voigtlander 12mm super wide angle lens, which typically has a heavy vignette. Rather than correct it, I decided to use it for the symbolic feeling of moving from the dark into the light. |

This photo and the two below were taken with the 21mm Elmarit lens. |

"X" marks the spot. I liked the criss-crossing of trees and branches that formed this composition shot with the 80-200mm zoom. |
