Wonderful composition and detail, Clifford. It's remarkable that the trees are still standing, and so eloquently, against such a beautiful background and a great story to tell.

Great story and great photo to go with it. I love the framing....the mountains in the background, but the tree silhouetted against the sky. Nice job.
