In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.

Dawn, thanks very much and to think this is a smaller version of the giant ones found in the Carolinas...

Incredible! You've evoked the amazement I felt as a kid when I first saw such a mind-boggling tree, completely undreamt of by someone from Wyoming, where the tallest wind-twisted cedar on the ridge is not much bigger than a grown man. The way you've expressed this ancient denizen of the South brings back many haunting memories and feelings from that long-ago journey to visit my Grandma in Georgia. Memories go back a long way there -- my brother got beat up because he was a "Yankee." I think maybe this tree knew slavery times and the Civil War. Just looking at it is a history lesson, but more than that, reminds us what a blip we are on the geologic wonders of the Earth.
