Eclectic Landscape???





"Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow.
The shadow is what we think of it;
the tree is the real thing."
Abraham Lincoln


I wasn't feeling it at this stop in our workshop...there was a vista...
some trees with leaves starting to turn...
ya know...the stuff I shoot here in Mammoth...

But then I turned...and saw the shadows!!!

Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about!!!

Call me eclectic...

    Some wonderful shadow lines happening here. Great for monochrome.

    Planks on the bridge crossed by such strong diagonals - I love it!

    Sunlight and shadow; when it's caught like this, it makes a creative photo.
