In late October, I took a half day to try to shoot the peak foliage in the area. Unfortunately, the day had been overcast with little sun shining through. As sunset was approaching, I made my way to Walden Pond, hoping for the best. The clouds departed and I had a great 45 minutes of golden hour photography - with dark late afternoon shadows and strong light.
You'll see some swimmers in these pictures - there is a group of older individuals and couples (65+) who routinely swim the cool water here every afternoon!
Walden is such a quiet and relaxing place, it's worth the drive out to Concord.
