meant to comment before when I saw it in voting and again yesterday ..
I'll blame my really slow internet ..
took two minutes for a photo to load yesterday .. and that's my story ..!! ..
non fiction btw ..
anyway .. this is truly and stunning and powerful image .. it really brings home the power of nature ..
but also there's this clinging to life feel .. almost like a sadness and loneliness ..
that little tree .. all alone in a tempest .. so close to the brink ..
I'm sure many ppl have felt the same ..
