Photographed by Duncan Rawlinson in the Thousand Islands of Ontario, Canada, this scene occurs for barely an hour each year. A single red maple reaches peak color just as morning fog drifts in from the river’s head, wrapping the island in soft haze. The alignment of foliage, light, and mist is so brief and specific, it’s a moment few ever see—let alone capture.
