Perpetual Split

This impressive tree is locked in a perpetual splits as a stream from the Peshtigo River flows directly underneath. The tree is holding on for dear life - and has for some time. There is a lesson with this tree - in not giving up.

And there is a lesson in this shot for me. I was scanning an older catalog preparing for a few days in the same area. I remember this tree as being of interest but didn’t remember why. When I took my first pass through the images, it didn’t stand out as worthy of adding to my portfolio and so it sat. This area of Wisconsin, the northeast corner bumping up to upper Michigan, has a large selection of waterfalls - and I was far more focused on those.

As I looked at it again - and added some light to the underexposed raw file - this composition stood out as pretty special (by my eyes anyway). We’ll see if I can get a better shot - or if there is even a better shot to be had.

Cheers
