I really like the brownness of this image. It gives the image a very nostalgic feel.

There's this movie called The Lake House. There's an advice from the architect father to the son about the lights. This is a great treatment for lights, Amy.
By the way, thanks for visiting my blog and your nice comments while I was somehow off.

@Philip: Thanks!

I like the horizontal texture of the light that comes through the line of trees onto the path. The monochromatic sepia work has really added to the effect superbly
