Vista

4x5 for 365 project (198/365)

I stumbled on this overlook along PA Route 44 in Potter County Pennsylvania named Water Tank Hollow Vista. The view is 2,235 feet above sea level and looks north-northeast.  There was a large amount of haze in the valley and off in the distance so I wasn't very hopeful for a good shot and used this opportunity more for a scouting shot for a return during the Fall color season.  I would imagine this area will be very colorful in the Autumn.
