Flash of Red 17

Went back in the archives to retrieve this tree shot today. It was taken in May of 2014 at Bethlehem Steel. Seeds have a surprising way of springing up in the most unusual places sometimes! This tree is growing in the ruins of one of the old steel mills. I probably should have cropped a little more of the wall out, but I did like the texture which the black and white brought out.

Nice textures in the wall.

[Disha Parekh]

Lovely composition and textures in the wall!

[Suse♡]

Love the comp: the horicontal line going across deviding the frame into a light and dark half and of course the life (a tree) is on the light half

[Dione Giorgio]

Very nice and I like the composition. We don't mix carnival with lent. Carnival came to an end on Tuesday immediately before Ash Wednesday.

[Chris K]

great texture. looks like the edge of the world!

[Rick Schies]

Nice presentation Ann

[Nina Ganci]

tend to agree, the star is the texture of this wall. Yes, seeds do fall in unusual places and Mother Nature takes over

[Joyce]

I like the way you've presented this Ann The texture is so important in B&W shots,

[Tracy]

Great texture and composition. Your pics today are making me homesick (I've only been in DC area 3 years).

[Nicole]

beautiful with the line the wall makes!

[bkb in the city]

How interesting indeed to see where things will grow

[katy]

I kind of like this composition actually! It was fascinating to see where trees can grow and you have caught a most intriguing one!
