A Brief History of the Wind
This old tree stands on top a gnarly peak on the far east border of Glassier National Park where the long and great plans suddenly and somewhat unexpectedly jump up in a shear wall of stone. It was not alone but stood with the corpses of many other trees who for some reason or other had ceased being able to live in the hostile environment that had given them birth and carved their living flesh into such masterpieces of wood. This one, though, this one was different. It was bigger and more warped and had lived far longer then any of its brethren or children that lay scatted about, and something in the way the silver wood gleamed, something in the way that it reached so far, forever seeking shelter from the wind, left me standing in awe.

this is awesome, especially in the black/white mode…it’s more expressive. i suppose it wouldn’t be that good if it was colour

yeah, I took the picture in color and it just did not work. I could not figure out what to do with it so I just threw it in b&w to see what would happen and it turned out really well.
