Fallen Tree

I dropped my wife off at her office downtown and headed into Red Deer County through a thick ice fog that had enveloped Red Deer and the surrounding area. I didn’t get far before I started to see the potential for some pictures. I slowed down along one of the range roads heading south and as soon as I saw these trees I slammed on the brakes. They reminded me of Ray McSavaney’s pictures of the “Walking Tree” that he made in Yosemite National Park in the 80’s. I set up and waited until the fog drifted off so I could see the front trees a bit better. It took a few minutes but I didn’t mind. There was almost no wind and the fog was absorbing most of the sounds around me. The quietness was very enjoyable! Printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308 paper.
