My first ELT

I found this as I was going through my Kurnell albums - it was taken at this time last year when we went whale watching at Cape Solander - planning to go whale watching some time next week so I was meandering through past albums - I am guessing this gutsy little tree has been constantly blown by the winds coming from the ocean which is just over the hill

[Paul King]

Amazing bend in that emphasised by your high key processing nice one Annie :-)

[Timothy]

very cool

[Paula W]

Very dramatic Annie, great composition too.

[Karen Matthews]

Bent but not broken. I love all the angles in your shot and the bw.

[emily tull]

looks great in b&w

[Sally Ings]

That tree looks like it has been subjected to some serious wind for a long time!

[Phil]

Great - really captures the sense of bleakness.

[Annie D]

@paul2782 I might see if I can find it again and take a few more pics - that was just a quick snap because I love trees

[Annie D]

@philr thanks Phil - it looked so lonely and hard done by

[Paul King]

@annied as do i Especially gnarled old Ent like forms :-)

[Annie D]

@twr thanks Timothy
@paulaw I felt sorry for it Paula :)
@karenmatthews thank you Karen - I love trees
@houdiniem the B&W seemed to accentuate the loneliness
@salza I know Sally - poor thing - but it's hangin' in there

[Aurelie Jacquet]
