It was a good time to revisit it- the clouds in the sky are awesome.

[Kristin]

Great ominous clouds.

[Shutterbug]

Love this in b&w. I think especially because of the sharp black line elements against the softer textures.

[Taffy]

Like how the one tree stands above the grasses, but all the verticality makes the composition strong.

[Joan Robillard]

Looks like one of @vignouse bottle brush trees

[Richard Sayer]

@joansmor No, that's a tree that hasn't (yet!) felt the merciless hand of man... I like it.

[Allison Williams]

Edward Steichen took pictures of the same tree though many seasons. A worthy effort.

[Tunia McClure]

The grasses and tree are so sharp.
