This is the famous Japanese maple tree in the front yard, illuminated by car headlights. I have seen this picture every time I pull into the driveway at night. It's just that I never quite get around to shooting it. Tonight I said: OK, no more fooling around, stop the car here, and shoot it NOW!" So I did. I am fairly sensitive to the different feelings that different kinds of light evoke in me. This lighting on the tree comes under the category of strange and creepy, and I like that, as a change of pace.
Grand!! How tall and how old is this tree??
ReplyDeleteGood question! I actually don't know how tall the tree is - I will have to measure it. When we moved into the house in 1971 the tree was there but it was much smaller. I will have to try and find a shopshot of the tree back then. Stay tuned...
