Stump Farm Low Tide

Another shot of the stumps - this is low tide at Alder Lake dam - legged decades ago and the stumps remain. Somehow the fog makes it look a little better.

Really cool shot Jan...t could be on another planet!

[Anita Campbell]

I'm with Nancy. This looks like on some other planet. The color is almost surreal.

[Shari Barnhart]

Very interesting shot! It's eerily sad that all the trees are gone.

[Jan K]

@nanderson @aglennc - Thanks Nancy and Anita. There used to be a town where Alder Lake is - it was flooded to build the dam and reservoir which used to be the deepest in the US. If course now (60 plus years I believe) since it was built there are many that are deeper. It DOES look other worldly, especially when foggy.

This seems to be a metaphor for environmental disregard that is too abundant in this world.

[Morné Grewe]

stunning!

[Gena Pegg]

It is a little eerie. There is a lake east of Salem (Oregon) ...Detroit Lake. that is reservoir. The original town was flooded when the dam was built. Now when they lower the water level in the winter you can still see some foundations of the old town and lots of tree stumps as well. Very much like this scene. The fog adds a great atmosphere.

I like how the fog gives it a different feel.

[Sue Wilde]

This is a fascinating playground

[Alison]

what an interesting looking area ~ loving the fog

[Jan K]

@eyesmile - that is eerie, Gena - we drive by Alder Lake to get to Mt Rainier - sometimes the water is very low - and while I have heard you can sometimes see parts of an old chapel, I haven't seen it. For some reason I find it all creepy that a town gets flooded like that.

[Nita]

A very interesting and evocative image. Really so much you could imagine about the scene.

[Peter Bunker]

Great atmosphere. Look as though you went through the Stargate!

[Taffy]

This looks like a very magical setting the way you've captured it. Well done!

[katy]

This onesie nice too but I like how you processed the other one.

[Paula W]

Really like this image, the tree stumps and mist make it look like something from a fairytale.

[Terry]

Looks desolate

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Stunning!

[Stephanie Swift]

I really like the textures of the stumps and the fog in the background, fav for me.

[sue-capetown]

what a bizarre sight the fog definitely adds to the pic how unusual

[e.gad]

Had to fav this one too. :)

[Cazla]

It looks like a battlefield of trees. Very interesting sight.

[Dawn Moder]

Looks like lost of earth battlefield or other plant. Great shot!

[Nicole]

Very cool! the fog creates an effect, like your in a movie!

[Laurie]

Love this shot! It reminds me of The Lorax!

[Andrina]

I have to agree with everyone above, it is very eerie and certainly has a movie/ other world feel to it! Great capture Jan, fav!! ☺

[Bill Fenske]

Love the title.

[jenny tucker]

oh this is MAGNIFICENT in its desolation. The fog is glorious....and really adds to the mood of the shot. I love thinking about that town and all that must have gone on there....and the decision to flood it. It must have felt like a death to the people living there.....a FAV for me.
