Framing a tree
The nooks and crannies of Bryce Canyon National Park are a veritable treasure trove of photographic delight, with trails winding their way along steep red sandstone walls and strange hoodoo formations. There, amidst the layered geological formations and a dry clime, one can find intricate natural structures of memorable beauty.
It was many years ago when I set first foot on the trails on a cold spring morning. Every turn on the trail brought about new surprises and new compositions to photograph. As the sun rose higher, the red color of the rocks started to stand out against the deep blue sky.
One such trail took me through a tunnel directly leading to a gnarly tree striking out on the dry and poor soil. Nevertheless, the outlet of the cave framed the tree and its contrasting background perfectly, as this image shows.
