Devil Tree

Rannoch Moor, Glencoe, Scotland.

This old skeletal tree is just one of the most charismatic around it stands like some bizarre and devilish tuning fork jutting up towards the firmanent and conveniently nestles within the slopes of the background mountains beside the Buchaille and the rest of the Glencoe cirque. The sense of menace is compounded by the silhouetted trunk yet the intense colours of straw coloured grass and red heathers lend the rest of the scene an altogether lighter air, a juxtaposition I find compelling.

NEW!! Photographic workshops and masterclasses displayed at TRANSIENT LIGHT.

Some Pbase galleries told me : Jean-Claude, you are not really a photographer. This is photography!

Strange in a land where there seem to be no trees, that the remains of one should stand there!! It makes an excellent composition, with the stream too and the grasses and smaller bushes. Well done.
