Photo of the Day: Dawn Breaking, Chautauqua Lake, Upstate NY


In summers past, maybe even at this late point in the season, my lungs would have been refreshed and my eyes gladdened by a walk by this lakefront on the grounds of the Chautauqua Institution. This year, like much else because of the threat posed by COVID-19, that experience was out of the question.

This photo I took in the summer of 2007 represents my attempt to relive that, virtually, through the power of memory. 

It is one of the tragedies of our age that so many believe that the virtual can match the actual. But, for now, it will have to suffice.
