Little Tree, Big Sky

Little Tree, Big Sky

I wanted to photograph the tree on the rock, but the fast moving clouds suddenly created an awesome sky spectacle, so I took this wide-angle shot that is mostly sky.

Requiem for The Little Tree on the Rock

Requiem for The Little Tree on the Rock

I’ve driven by this spot occasionally for over 20 years. This little tree always caught my eye. Stunted, but tenacious, it clung to its rock altar, which raised it to a spot of prominence on the grassy hillside. The tree lived a difficult life atop the barren rock, and never grew to a majestic size, but, of all the trees along the highway, this one was my favorite. Eventually it died, but its form remained. On this day, however, I noticed the tree was tilted more than usual, and I spotted a crack near the base of the trunk, and knew the tree would soon be gone.
