The way the light and shadow interact with the form feel like some alien world.

Trinity Moon


The symbolism of this image is profound. First off, this is a predawn pic. Then the three trees. On the right, you have two of the same type [Father and Son]. On the left, a dark mass [Holy Ghost]. And by God if there isn't a bird atop the pine [Holy Ghost]. When Jesus was baptized by John, the Holy Ghost took the form of a dove. Then there is the bell, the cross, and the heavens. I'm not one to wax religious [to any degree] but I find the composition oddly congruent There's even a mountain directly behind the smaller tree [Son].

Cloud Demon


The clouds, the shadows, the light ... it all makes for an eerie, Friday the 13th image.

I may have processed this to highlight the form, 
but every pixel is true to the captured RAW image.

Sticky Cloud


It looks as if the cloud is being pulled away from the mountain when in fact, it is diving into it.

Ice Water Trees


The light is perfect for capturing the reflections and ice chunks.

Wet Asphalt Light


A new parking lot shows its imperfections as the light reflects off the thin layer of water left from the overnight rain.
