Crossing the barrier of dead tree trunks across the pond and out between the distant trees, we reach the sky and the clouds that van Ruisdael loved to paint. Close to us they are streaky and grey, but then puff up to tower overhead. The sun striking them makes them glow, their shapes echoed by the tops of the trees below.
