A bit of a change of pace...too much wooded forests, streams etc...gets boring! Just kidding...for me those things never get old but I realize there are others here looking at the pictures besides me!

This is a picture of a pristine Sycamore tree. One of my favorite trees, their bark is snow white and when leaves come out in the Spring, the green of the leaves contrasting with the white trunk is gorgeous.

The process I used on this is called Solarization. It is a technique often used to create fantasy images. They look realistic but at the same time, look unworldly.

In the days before digital, this technique was created by turning on the light in the darkroom for an instant while developing the print and the light "burnt" the image. Today with digital, there are filters that create the same effect.
