I can’t explain it, but I have a thing for dead trees. I love to see the remaining skeleton of a bygone tree. These trees stand the test the time, even if their own time is past.
This tree is standing at Big Meadows inside Shenandoah National Park next to Skyline Drive. Standing stoically to greet the dawn’s early light.

Beautiful shot – agree dead trees often stands like sculptures… 🙂
I think we should create a “Dead Tree Society.” What do you think Drake?
Agree, a great idea… 😉
I bet we’d get some great shots of dead trees around the world.
Beautiful shot Bella! I love the color in the sky. I agree with you about dead trees. There is something other worldly about them.
Hi Michael ! Bet you’re happy now that the heat is easing up a bit down there. Great to see you! So good to know I’m not the only crazy one out there that appreciates dead trees. 🙂
So beautiful!

Beautiful Bella! I agree about the trees. I have a few shots from of them from the Pryors that I really like!
I bet you have some really interesting dead tree photos from your area. I’m still dreaming of coming out to the Pryors to visit the horses some day.
death is just the beginning beautiful capture
Good morning Will ! So funny that you said that ! I just watched Sherlock Holmes movie from 2009 and darned if the bad guy didn’t say the same thing ! 🙂

What a superb photo…I have read somewhere that Shenandoah is one of the most beautiful places there is, and one day I would live to see it for myself.
I love dead tress too, and this shot is just amazing!
