What Is the Goal?

I’ve shared this before, but this is my entry into the weekly photo challenge. This week the topic is “tree”.

Possibly just as much a question of my activities as my aesthetic intentions with my photographs of this one lone tree, at the top of a path at the top of a hill, clouds scudding across the sky on a dark winter afternoon, dark enough to dim the colors in the winter field. Something we should ask ourselves on a regular basis.

One conclusion was that I should get lost on country roads more often. I saw this from a distance, a ribbon of winding road before me and many hills and curves between me and the tree, and drove until I found it.

About three years after I had taken this photo I shared it again. A friend asked me if the tree was where she thought it was, I agreed. She said she’d been married under that tree, asked the property owner permission and had her ceremony there. A very small world sometimes.
