Early morning light and fog at the Great Sacandaga Lake.





Morning light along the western shore from Vandenburgh Point.
Right after sunrise, thick steam fog began rolling off the Great Sacandaga Lake, creating a constantly shifting scene. Familiar landmarks—the Mayfield water tower, the old Close farm across the water, and Beacon Island—kept drifting in and out of view, alternately swallowed whole by the mist and then revealed as the fog pulsed and lifted. It was a remarkably quiet, atmospheric stretch of light just minutes after the sun cleared the horizon.
