JULY 4, 2012: DEAD FLAME TREE AT PAU PAU

I'm not sure why, but for some reason certain dead trees seem to take on a stately, grand, and graceful spirit while also evoking mystery and spookiness.

  • I'm not sure why, but for some reason certain dead trees seem to take on a stately, grand, and graceful spirit while also evoking mystery and spookiness.
  • I've driven by this old fellow many times since it burned, without giving it a second thought..
  • But then the other day it just sort of (figuratively) leaped out in front of me.  Funny how the sudden entry of an old thing into a person's awareness can make for new insights and creativity.
  • Anyway, I decided I just HAD to come back sometime when the sun  was about to set.
  • The shots I got when I returned are, I think, a beginning.  I still want to return for one of our more glorious and colorful sunsets.  Of course, one never knows just how vivid a sunset will be until the colors show up, so we'll see....<br />
<br />
Here several living flame trees show their colors in the background.
