Vine and Tree, Blue Mountains


That's one fairly enormous vine, emerging from the ground in a fistlike bundle in front of the tree, climbing up and wrapping around the tree, continuing upward.

    Digital, yes. $300 Kodak, 6mp, 6 years old - breaking down. This was on manual, 2.8, probably about /1/100. Afternoon, bright day, but pretty dark in this little rainforesty area.

    For some reason I like B&W pretty dark.
