The Live Oaks

Because the land in some areas of West Texas does not grow crops or trees easily, the Prior of the Hermitage left every tree on the property untouched, and in fact, designed the placement of the buildings and sidewalks in such a way that no trees would be moved or cut down. This is a group of Live Oaks not far from the church door, seen in the background, that I was fascinated with. I took photographs of these trees on several different occasions, in different lighting. This is my final try, and I think the most successful version. I love the sense of light exploding through the trees.
