I’ve passed by this tree numerous times but never photographed it until now. It’s been dead for years so I’m guessing the only reason it hasn’t been cut down is because it looks so dang cool.

Unique images of Central Texas and beyond.
I love trees like this. Great lighting on it.
wow, this is a great shot. i love the tones, it really makes it more dramatic.
Very dramatic shot of a very dramatic tree. I love trees dead or alive !
OMG, Andy. This is spectacular!
Great shot, great lighting.
great find for this tree, really nice shapes and lines…beautiful landscape and sky as alwyas:-) i like the sepia tone also:-)
WOOOOW!!! Fantastic choice of hues!! Great subject, marvelous as usual.
Dramatic lighting and tones, outstanding composition, …. you just gotta love it!!!
What a cool tree. It was just waiting for you to come photograph it! Hopefully it will stay up for some more dramatic photos like this one.
Awesome! Composition, tone and the lighting make this very dramatic and draw me in. Well done!
Oh, I love dead trees like that, they are so sharp and violent looking. It reminds me of a hill a few miles away from where I live, which is the highest point for several miles and gets struck by lightening, so there are lots of dead trees there like that.
Yep – looks DANG cool!! Like a post-apocalyptic scene… Lovely tones that really capture the essence of the feeling. Nice one!
I love this shot. Very grabbing.
Oh man this is awsome. Dont know why but isolated and esp desolate trees just pop.
This photo reminds me of Ansel Adams. I really think it’s just as good!

Very elegant and beautiful. Love the coloring.
Great capture, I love how it’s off centered a bit.
I love that tree and you really pick a good color, it’s so dramatic!

Strong shot of this tortured tree. Great light
What a beautiful tree. It would be a travesty to cut it down.
Another beautiful shot. I keep looking forward to your shots…
I agree – you captured this perfectly
Very cool indeed.
What a wonderful old tree, very cool with the reduced colors. This is what I call a perfect shot.
Very Walker Evans.
Very cool indeed. Nice find.
