Lone pine, Yellowstone Canyon, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, 2010

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is 1000 feet deep. Hot water acting on volcanic rock created the canyon’s distinctive colors. To create this second image in the four-picture sequence, I found a narrow tall pine standing alone on the side of the canyon and moved my camera position so that it fit neatly within the vertical streak of white rock on the opposite side of the canyon. Outlined against that band of contrasting color, it seems to soar even higher.

For me, the light seemed like a halo. And halos have alway been a visual metaphor for divine intentions. Thanks, Tim, for observing the spiritual sense of this image.

The light behind it seems to make it glow and the light seems to extend from it to reach the sky. For me this is a very spiritual image.
