Outstanding photo.

The fact that such beauty could be captured by a Brownie is a reminder
of what made Kodak what it was.  Bringing the ability to capture and
communicate one's feelings about a scene to the population of
non-painters was a step forward in our evolution that seems, in some
ways, comparable to what the printing press did before and the
internet later.

I hope you've archived this with a good "carbon on cotton" print!  :)
