Uprooted

Taken along the Potomac River near Mount Vernon, home of George Washington. The last time we drove past his estate, I remember I had counted (and photographed) about 20 tour busses parked on the road in front. The other day, there wasn’t a single one.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Surrounded by friends, posted earlier:

1/4000s f/2.0 at 6.0mm iso20 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

The solitude must be wonderful though. I really like this capture of the gnarled tree. V

Wel, I try to go were I want to go, but in my own country for the moment. It will come back, better times.

It does look like the wilderness but close to the city

With the covid restrictions it must be nice to visit sites in your area without so many tourists! Lots of character to this tree. V

Nice shot of this gnarly tree!

All the nicer to have on your own.

The fallen tree is such a strong foreground element to lead the viewers into the frame.

the fallen tree brings such interest to the scene with its branches sticking out as if in alarm..
