A morning walk to start the day off right paid off with many photo ops.  I love the geometry and colors of the silt fences they put up to manage the flow of runoff water in new sections of development here.  In NC, when it rains, it really really pours and since the ground is like cement with a high clay content, there’s no place for it to go except to run down in great torrents. So you see these catch ponds all over the place.  The burlap is to keep silt in the water under control, during construction.

They catch the light in nice ways, and with Photo Toaster, the possibilities are limitless.  I had to hold myself back here from publishing 20 different treatments of this shot.
