I’m not sure how to describe or talk about this photo. I was driving to Grand Falls and the sunlight was really streaming down through the clouds like some archangel was descending in a rage of glory. I saw only two trees on the 10 mile dirt road and this was one of them (if you can call that thing a tree…but it was the closest thing to one anywhere around). I was eying it from about a quarter mile away because it clearly visible sitting atop this little hill.
As I got closer, it was just magic that somehow these rays of sunlight seemed to be casting all their power on this little tree. At least, that’s how I saw it in my mind.
I think as far as my photography goes with landscapes and HDR and all that jazz, this is more abstract and a little bit religious for me? I am not sure why…but that’s what I feel when I look at it.

I have missed seeing your beautiful work! I'm finally starting to catch up on comments after my vacation. This one is a wonder--exactly as you described--a touch of magic! Beautifully captured. I can see why you were in awe when you came upon it.

This is wonderful light, and I adore that tree. In Northern Norway I saw light like this, and it is amazing. Do you have an entry in Solitude?

Great shot! As was said on an earlier shot, your narratives pull is right into the picture as if we were there with you. You do a wonderful job in both areas!
