A suggestion often made to photographers is that after you are done photographing whatever it is you came for, turn around and look at what is behind you. There is often another compelling scene in the opposite direction. That happened to me when I was photographing the waterfalls in Connecticut’s Kent Falls State Park several years ago. After I finished shooting the falls, I turned around to walk back down to the parking lot. I then looked across the valley and saw this autumn scene. It was far more interesting than what I came there for!
