Dead Trees

<p>I find that dead trees, particularly those with highly sculptural forms, have become a staple of my landscape images. Some examples follow, below. Since I live and mostly travel in the desert Southwest and Intermountain regions of the US, dead trees frequently form significant, even outstanding artifacts and points of interest. Does anyone else find this to be true for their work?</p><div></div>

<p>Sometimes, it's hard to tell the difference between "dead" and "barren", especially in Winter. But, for an Arizona pine in Spring, there's not much doubt.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello everyone. 30+ years ago I hiked the Sierra's with a 4x5 looking for dead trees and other Adamesqe subjects. These days I am at lower altitudes, but still looking for the same opportunities with the 6x6 & 6x9 folders. Enjoy, Bill</p><div></div>

<p>Although these trees look like they were burned, they were really killed by an advancing geyser pool in Yellowstone.</p><div></div>
