This is the Bascom River above the main pool at Emmons Preserve in Kennbunkport Maine. Emmons, as I have detailed here before, is a little preserve set aside for public use, with a short loop trail beside the stream, several pools, some minor waterfalls and rapids, etc. Altogether a wonderful little patch that I always enjoy visiting. Here, the real feature is the clear, crisp light of early spring, the reflections in the water, and the symmetry of the narrows. There is really nothing there…but it is a pleasing…an inviting nothing.

Canon SX20IS zoomed out to 85mm equivalent field of view for framing, f4 @ 1/125 @ ISO 100. Landscape Mode.
