Lake Turtle, Foggy Morning at Spreckels Lake, Golden Gate Park, Nikon F4, Tamron 24-135mm, Kodak Ektachrome (E100SW).

Notes: Spreckels Lake at Golden Gate Park is where Gail and I attend a Tai Chi class every Sat. and Sun. morning. We've been doing it since Sept. 2003. I also bring my father there for walks around the lake, so I know this lake and its features pretty well. This turtle island is sometimes full of turtles sunning themselves on a warm day. On this cold, foggy morning, there was a solitary turtle on the island and a solitary seagull in the background. The fog, mist, and overcast sky made an interesting scene. I also liked the way the gull was sitting in the wavy area in contrast to the stillness of the foreground.
