Hmmm ... I always see this tree next to a soccer field and it looks pretty kewl close up. Well, kewl for a tree. So today I had a few minutes (with kids in tow) and stopped by and took a few shots. Trying not to be a "vacationer shot"
It looks kewl in person, but in a photo .. I'm not sure how to convey it's oddity. It has these little lumps of tree growth all over the place and that just isn't conveyed as well as the eyes. I think I'll try it again, and try some composition to make it look better, or simply go back to living, moving subjects lol It would have been alot better if a snow owl was on the branches, or even a large eagle !! If you looks closely, there were squirrels running about the branches .. yup, just ordinary squirrels.
So these two trees are next to each other and seem to reach out to each other
and the one main tree and the scraggle branche
and just for reference, this is what they look like. The one on the right is of course all there. The other one looks like it was trimmed half off at some point.
So .. how does one make a tree exciting to look at ??
and no, I'm not going to lite it on fire !!
fyi, I tried later in the day to get the one side exposed, and a more setting sun so not too bright. Wish the sky was all blue though.
