Happy New Year!
A friend recently reminded me of this photograph, Slowly Sinking Twin Pines, and it has me wondering about the state of these trees. I had the intention of revisiting this site on a recent trip to western NY, but I didn’t make there. I plan get back to this site in 2024 to see if these trees have sunk.
The challenging thing about revisiting a site it is that it’s often a matter of luck and showing up at the right time to capture the light at an opportune moment. The brief moment of sunlight that filters down through the clouds and illuminates the foreground and trees is what makes this photo great to me.
There’s something about marking time that I find interesting about this image; eventually the trees will be gone.
