I'm Still Standing

Overland Park KS view map

I didn't count the rings but I think we're about the same age. This guy recently kicked the bucket and had a date with the chain saw but I'm still here and "I'm still standing". Yea, Yea, Yea. Can you guess who sang that song? No googling allowed.

Some might find this odd but the reason I choose to post this was a simple feature in
the snapshot that many might have missed. My favorite feature in this is the light shining through belt buckle holes on my pants leg. Paul

The effect is a slight HDR effect using Topaz Adjust and I was mostly trying to enhance the rings. The belt is my well used leather tool pouch belt so the only rings on that guy is where it ring around my waist. I started to count the rings and inside no problem since they are big and spread out but on the outer part of the tree it becomes more difficult. In the end It may be possible that I out lived this grand pin-oak tree. Paul

You mention that you and the tree are close to the same age based on rings - it almost looks like the rings are in the belt. I like how the pants, belt and boots are almost watercolor like. Very cool - Ralph
