That is a very cool tree. Is that in a dark sky area? It would make a great silhouette for a milky way foreground.

Very dark except for the occasional group of ranch buildings and the odd vehicle on the road. The altitude and dry air here really show off the stars as well. Never tried star photography, yet.

Every time I drive past this barn I remind myself to get back before it falls down. Fortunately, there's a tree in front of it.

Thank you, it is that I'm not a painter, because I do believe this kind of work done as a painting will find an audience faster than it will as just an edited photo.
