Here's a different take on the dead tree theme. Yes, it's a tree and yes it's dead, but it was in a pot on a porch. I just liked the texture and the cast shadow.
Another from the North Rim area, burned tree's from Forest fire sillouette against the setting sun.
I liked the gradient in the sky and the trees still looking ablaze.

Thought I'd add another picture to this thread... it seems go in starts... been a good 6 months since the last post, so hopefully bumping it up will get a few more cool old dead trees posted.
Well Past Dead
Ancient Bristle Cone Pine tree in the White Mountains. These trees live a very long time and can stay upright a very long time (as in several thousand years) after they're totally dead.
I'm glad that you guys & gals are celebrating what inevitably ends up in my pictures anyway...the ubiquitous dead tree! Although most of you seem to be shooting them intentionally. Here's a couple appearances by Dead Tree in my shots.
On the beach @ Eminence Fault, Grand Canyon
I've got a friend that mocks my tendency to photography dead trees, or as he calls them, sticks in the mud. This is my response.
Wood grain at Black Canyon of the Gunnison
Best thread topic ever. Wish I'd noticed it long ago!
I love photographing dead trees and actually forced myself to stop doing it as I did not think others were interested. Thanks a lot for getting me back on track (take that sarcastically or literally - either way works).
Egmont Key in Tampa Bay is eroding. The resulting salt water intrusion has killed thousands of trees. Here's a couple of shots I took on an overcast day. I'll be getting back there on a sunnier day once the weather cools a bit.
^^^ My pleasure Jo, Sara... yes, lots of variety for such a simple theme... sadly, lots of images in the thread are missing due to time and tide.
Dead trees seem to have a mysterious and evocative appeal to photographers... not sure why..
A poor shot, but a typical shot of the Bark Beetle damage in the Sierra National Forest - outside of Mariposa, Ca. The southern end of Yosemite is a sad statement on the Bark Beetle invasion.

Same beach... same tree in the distance
