Old Tree in Parvin State Park

Went to Parvin State Park to look to see if I could see signs of the change of season. The closest I got was people fishing on the lake. But it is a nice 5K hike around the lake. The top of this tree is still alive but I loked the trunk, I tweaked it a bit to bring out the texture and tonality of it. Doing that caused me to lose the Exif info - f4 1/125 ISO100
