Description
This is another shot that I took one our early 2008 trip to the shoreline of Lake Pontchartrain, west of New Orleans. It is a type of shot that I really hadn�t tried too much up until this point � shooting directly into the setting sun and creating a strong silhouette. Indeed, after several years of not shooting these shots, I has become a type of image that I have quite enjoyed shooting. So I guess, this was something of an unintentionally pioneering shot for myself. I think what this image represents is the somewhat off-worldly nature of the Bald Cypress trees; their bare branches and seemingly dead nature. It can be quite a sight to see a vast array of these trees in the Louisiana swamps: a sight that, to a foreigner, is quite impressionable.
