Every time I've run past this twisted pine tree, I've wanted to work it into a photo that does it justice. It's kind of awkwardly placed on a slope with rather over-trodden trails around it, so my previous attempts left much to be desired. One rainy day, I hiked up instead of ran, so I had time and a tripod on my side. A man with umbrella happened to walk down the hill and into the frame to add to the composition.
I just wanted to let you know how stunning all your pictures are. Every single pic i've seen of yours is simply amazing. I just wanted to let you know my appreciation of your work. Keep up the good work.
