Probably the second most photographed tree in Norther CA after the redwoods. So popular that it's copyrighted

I'm trying to go for the "dark" look of a very common subject. Something different.

Good series.
#1 I really like but how does it sit up there in windy weather?
For some reason #5 hurts my eyes.

#1 and #3 really capture the environment for what it is, and really says 'natural' to me.
Great work :) love them!

Thanks everyone for the comments. It's pretty amazing how some trees survive some really harsh environment.

Scrumpy, what do you mean #5 hurts your eyes?
