The Weekend in Black and White: Uprooted

This was a sizable tree I spotted on the banks of the lake. It was starting to look like driftwood but it would take a lot of force to move it.

    It does look massive. It would be perfect for some sculptural work.

    On all of our hikes, I am shooting fallen trees and looking for imaginary images in the decaying wood. These types of shots really fascinate me. This one is so sharp with perfect lighting setting off the texture of the wood. It does have the appearance of driftwood.

    That was no sapling - impressive rot with very interesting patterns of lines and swirls.

    Hmm... a dead tree, and so full of texture. It kinda looks like an ear, doesn't it? Hehe... Liking this shot. =)

    Btw, here's mine. Hope you could visit back.
