Trees 2

So you may have noticed that I have a thing for trees.

In my earlier trees post I explained why I like them, but I'm always looking for another trees shot. To some they may all look alike. Trees in black and white, but I seem to see something fresh every time.

This time I was in Pine Knot, Kentucky on the Hills and Hollers mission trip through church. We heard about an old mill and waterfall near the house we were working on. So, one day after work we hiked into the woods. There was a trail with an occasional challenge, but really pretty nice. Soon we came across a small creek and the trail followed. Up ahead was a small waterfall where another creek intersected the larger one. We were thinking that this isn't all that impressive, but after another 100 yards or so, there is was. The creek slowed down and widened out and fell down stream in a large, two tiered waterfall, and at the bottom were the remnants of the old mill. The whole area was beautiful and full of history. There was an abandoned Civil War bunker along the trail, and with the mill you just kind of knew that something went on in that area at one time.

Anyway, there were opportunities all over to capture tree shots. I took a few others but this is the one that really caught my eye.

This was converted to black and white with Photoshop Elements 6 and adjusted for contrast. Minor burning between trees, and overlayed with a 10% yellow filter.
