Exposed

A recent hike along the Gooseberry River in Minnesota led me to this tree. During high water, the soil is washed away from the base of the trees and exposes the elaborate root systems of the cedar trees.

More of my photography can be found on my website and my blog.

Row On Row

ROW ON ROW
In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
— John McCrae
This is a U.S. military cemetery – Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis, Missouri. There are no poppies between the stones, row on row. that stand on this carefully tended hillside. But places are marked, and birds do fly by sharing their lovely songs. And, sadly, here in this country, there are indeed still guns below.
A beautiful day with a magnificent sky above along with a vantage point looking up the hill gave me the picture I was hoping for. The photo itself is actually a four frame panorama to provide the scope the image demanded. It is finished with a 16 x 9 aspect ratio and a slight sepia tint.
