From my living room, I can see at a pond. Just on the other side of that pond is a small building, a pond house. It seems to change with the light and the weather, though I know it is always the same pond house. I like to photograph the pond house when mists rise from the pond. There is tranquility about that. Just after daybreak, when the first gold shafts of light shower the fields, the pond, and this tiny house, the scene is one of hope, at least for me. Another day, another chance, the light seems to say. I took this photograph with those words in mind.
