And the once hardy tree stood
gasping, gagging, choking
barely living
wilting
dying
Note : I have been wanting to photograph these trees every time I pass them while driving on the highway
But it has been such a challenge trying to find an ideal spot to shoot them
The other day, I decided that I just have to do it
So I got off the car on the highway road shoulder, climbed over the barricade, balance myself on rocks and haphazardly took a few shots with my iphone
The effect was far from what I had in mind but I am glad I did it before these were gone, gone with progression
Thanks to my husband for saying yes to my crazy suggestion
I can understand. I have a thing about trees :p But many of my photos of trees never turned out the way I wanted them to. But one did…. http://ruthwongwrites.blogspot.com/2011/07/charming-little-cafe.html
This one atop a little hill near Riders Cafe. You been there before?
Haha…the things that photographers do to get their shots. A great shot depicted with the title of this post!
hey Ruth, so happy to find someone who share the same obsession ! love the barren tree u took !
Will love to see your trees photos, do share them. I have a photo gallery on my site on trees, mostly taken when I travel http://4malmal.com/gallery/trees/
most of them weren’t well taken but I created the gallery anyway…one of the to-do-things on my list is to polish up my photography skill !
hey thanks Rachel !
kind of crazy huh ?! wasn’t the safest thing to do but really can’t find any better spot to stop the car. It’s a pity that the construction site was fenced up and it was kind of tough, given my height to get an unobstructed shot of the tree. Will want to do it again with my DSLR but still haven’t figure how
Nice shot! though it tells a sad ending of these trees…
