 Shot from Helderberg Farm. It was quite a long hike up, and even harder getting down in the dark. Ok, this is my second silhouette shot in a row. I promise not to be a one horse trick photographer, this was just the best tree I could get in the week.

The sky catches the eye more than the tree. The sky is beautiful.

Beautiful shot. The sky is such a powerful image that it outdoes the tree, making the sky more of the main subject.
