First, some logs remaining when a dead tree was cut down near the Greenway. Fungi were growing well in their environment, and the bright sunlight was coming from behind the scene, but blocked by a standing tree from striking the camera lens. This gave lots of contrast to the textures of leaves, bark, vines and mushrooms, which I further enhanced when I converted the image to black and white.
Next was the site of a fallen tree, which has now lain across the river for many months. On the bank where I was standing, another tree appears to be meeting its demise, perhaps due to a lightning strike.

Have not seen, Into the Woods, but from the previews, you've especially captured elements of the Meryl Streep character's appearance - grey and long, woody branches.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking more in terms of the effect of the woods on people's behavior, but if the fallen tree across the river could be said to be human in form, I would say it definitely looks like the witch played by Streep. I highly recommend the movie, btw - it is perhaps the best film adaption of a musical that I have ever seen.
