"When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear..."
Excerpt from a poem by Maya Angelou
This image is dedicated to Pat Conroy, a great Southern writer, who passed away yesterday.
This is also image number two in my March "Walk in the Woods" series. Every image from this series is SOOC with no edits, no crops, no post processing of any sort, not even resizing. Literally straight out of the camera.
Your PoV adds drama to this image and I very much like the verse - it put me in mind of the saying: "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?". If this kind of existentialist thinking appeals to you... you can find more to think about here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_a_tree_falls_in_a_forest
