One of the great things about the forum is that you find others with the same, um, 'eclectic' tastes as you: schmoo, long before she was a moderator got my attention with her wonderful abandoned, desolete buildings.

Turns out that Aaron (anwmn1) also loves those. But he and I also share another deep passion: Pictures of Dead Trees! :huh

So here it is, the Dead Tree Thread.

To get started, this one was taken in the morning of Sat. Oct 4 at Oak Creek, near Sedona, as we headed out to Moab.

    This one looks dead but is one of the oldest living organisms on the planet...Captured this at almost 10,000 feet in the White Mountains, CA.

    Considering the sun was at your back I'd LOVE iloveyou.gif to see this image with the afternoon glow. I am guesing it was 4 hours away? I know, long time to sit with a tree.

    Arches dead tree
    Here is one from Arches, along the 'park avenue' trail. Shot it just before it was in the shade.

    Sam, I love that picture! Absolutely beautiful.

    I was confused by the thread title, though. Being an old school computer geek, the first thing that popped into my head was "Why pictures of books?"

    Dead Tree in Maine
    Shot this one at a stream near my brother's in Richmond, Maine. I have several others views of it but I like the colors of this one.

    June 2007: Road leading to the Grand Canyon North Rim. I believe it was a scheduled burn.

    Geyser Pass Dead Tree
    I found this tree stump on the last day of the Utah 2008 Shootout in Arches NP. While driving on La Sal Loop road, I detoured on a dirt road going up to Geyser Pass.

    Here is one from a few years back, shot with an old P&S.
    This is from the Superior Hiking Trail, in Northern Minnesota.
