Lord of the Trees

Newer Older

I stumbled upon this enormous, mesmerizing serpentine tree while exploring Volunteer park last summer and the first thing that came to mind was Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. I felt as though I'd been transported to the wood elf forest realm of Lothlórien and wanted to recreate that feeling.

It was enormous and when standing beneath its outstretched elvish boughs, even the wide angle fully zoomed out felt restrictive and cramped.
