A weathered tree lies horizontally across a calm, reflective body of water, suggesting a serene yet melancholic scene. The monochrome tones highlight the intricate reflections and the stark contrast between the branches and water surface. Nature’s quiet persistence is captured in the delicate interplay of light and shadow.
I photographed this sepia tone scene – where background, forest reflections depict abstract foliage, as if this dead tree were recalling an earlier time with a canopy of leaves over head – while visiting Byrd Lake at the Cumberland Mountain State Park, located in Crossville, Tennessee.
