September 8, 2010, Rialto Beach, Olympic National Park: These three stark naked trees are hard by the path right out of the main parking lot at Rialto Beach. You can just feel how harsh the environment must be on these beaches. They face the winter storms that come in off the North Pacific. The fog was thick that day, and the ceiling must have been only 50 or 100 feet off the deck.
There was almost no color in the original image, so I made a slightly tinted black and white image. I think it works. File is df100908_1160.
cool! looks good with a black border (when i clicked on it, it was put up against a white screen and looked washed out).
ReplyDeletewas there any ocean in that shot, or was it just all white behind those trees? ocean would give it some context, but my guess is that the horizon was just under that hill.
Very Halloweeny trees! I want to know where the branches went on the other side of the tree.
ReplyDeleteTo Rika - No ocean in this shot, just the foggy sky. The ocean horizon is behind the hill. Interesting comment about needing the black background.
ReplyDeleteTo Lisa - I want to know too.
