Tree of Silence, Coongie Lake by

This was one of the most awesome sunsets I have stood around for – way out in the interior. The tree was so arresting in silhouette and the light was pooling more and more intensely. It was actually raining slightly.
And I was getting nibbled at by turtles in the water as I clicked away over that magic hour.

    Amazing shot. Love the light pooling around the silhouette of the tree. I think it would be a better shot if you waited for a calmer day that way you would get a clearer reflection. If you live close to the area I don’t imagine it would take long to reshoot. I’ve got some sunset shots as well if you’d like to take a look.
