Survivor in the Thermals

hi Larry- Appears to be a real blustery day with the black clouds moving in. The lonely branch appears to be leaning into the wind trying to remain upright. Nice Capture. Detail is much better in the large size ,especially the rocks. Best

Please view this large. Ross got his comment in before I wrote this

message. He is correct; the winds at Te Puia, a Maori historic

park in Rotorua, New Zealand were blowing steam and mist from

the geysers and other boiling features of nature. I was taken in by

this small tree's ability to thrive, growing out of rock and weathering

the bubbling elements around it. Thanks, Ross and others for

your comments. Larry

Ross,  

Thanks for your speedy comment.  You got it in before I was able to finish requesting the critique.  I fully agree with your observations.  I can still feel the warm sulfated water in my face as I clicked this image. Your comment is "right on."   Best to you. Larry
