One Is The Loneliest Number

I found one more I just like to share with you all from the other day. One lonely tree braven the harsh winter we have been having here in Northwest Indiana. Taken along the shoreline of Lake Michigan.

I got the title from a song made famous by Three Dog Night many years ago LOL one of my fav rock bands way back then. It just pop into my head when I was working on this image.

Northwest Indiana, Jan 2009.

Nikon D80 Sigma 10-20mm lens used.

Thanks for looking.

    Great shot!
    Re the song how long ago was that? We have a singer here in Aus – “John Farnham” who had a huge hit with “One” and first brought it out in the 1960s
    Great song & great art!

    Hmmm….. one, two, or three? I think one tree is my choice out of these three images. Not that I have to choose… they’re all very good.
    I love the starkness of the scene….. so well done!

    I thought when looking at the thumbnails that the 3 tree image would be my favourite, but when looking closer this one is!
    I like the small tufts in the foreground, the position of the tree and the cloud swirls

    This is a great shot Curtiss!
    Like those wispy clouds. The single tree really gives the surrounding a “not so desolate” feel to it also.
