I would like to meet this tree. Weird, though, I don’t find it sad. I find it kind of inspiring. It’s still doing its Tree Thing after all of its drama.

THis is amazing.. I look at it and think any minute that tree is going to get up and walk away.. or come chasing the person taking the photo.. hahaha.. Just love it!

This is a great Halloween capture. That tree looks like it’s holding his head in it’s hand (limb). Very nice how you’ve used sillouette to capture the essence of the tree.

really stark contrasts here, balanced well by the greys in the foreground. :) great job, and congrats on the home page feature!

@All: thanks for your visits and comments. We’ve been in Andalusia, Spain in June 2002 to attend a wedding of one of our friends. The next day we travelled around the country and on the way back I’ve noticed this strange tree on the side of the road. It was eerie and actually I thought someone stumbles across the meadow headless (stupid, I know)! We then stopped for just this shot. It’s been a favorite image since then.
