A Tree

I think its pretty clear that this is a shot from the winter-time. All the leaves are missing and that makes it clear, but I can feel the crispness of the air in looking at this, especially in the way the light hits the things around and behind the tree. This is a tree in front of the Rathaus here in Hannover. I like the snaking, wiggling ways that the branches reach for the sky. I also love trees in the winter. I like that they go through such a dramatic cycle every year. You can see their change. And they grow anew. Maybe its better to be consistent like the pine tree, but I think change is good.

I have not been as pleased with many of the selections lately as I usually am. A friend pointed out that I should be posting and writing what I want up here and not detaching myself so much from it. Anyway, the point is, I have not had as much time as I would like to spend on photography. I have a lot of shots that I have in mind that I would love to take, but I haven't had time. I'm going to try to partially rectify that today.
