The last week and a half has been utterly miserable, low cloud, drizzle and bitterly cold (for us!). Tonight there has been a severe weather warning issued – well I guess it is winter! After choking up my hard drive (again!) I am sorting through old files, and found this one. Taken last summer at Pyalong, the original taken with a polarising filter, has a really, really deep blue sky with the dead tree which is silver grey.

Great textures, looks like a dragon emerging from flames!
Thanks, yes I can see a dragon 🙂
Good picture
Thank you!
This pic wreaks of heat…just what you need eh?
It was a really hot day, taken very early 🙂
Good use of the polarizer – nice framing of the dead wood – amazing how nature has an endless supply of design tricks going on. Great capture of the tones too.
Thanks Robert, definitely an endless supply 🙂
Nice shot. The patterns are interesting, even in death.
Thanks LD, I took several shots from all around the trunk, they were all fascinating 🙂
You made a nice sculpture out of this piece of wood 🙂
Thank you, although nature did the hard work 🙂
No artist is ever quite as good as nature itself!
That is so true 🙂
This is a great study, Lisa, to me highly reminiscent of the style of Edward Weston. A
Thanks as always Adrian – I didn’t know the photographer by name (shame on me!) but when I looked him up I instantly recognised his images 🙂
fantastic shape and wonderful contrast!
Thanks, it was a good find!
Great detail in the wood! It is a beautiful image.
Thank you very much 🙂
