Hah! Check out this one. One of my favorite spots on a local trail. I call this fella "The tree that just couldn't decide which way to grow."
What a fluke of nature! Here is your typical jack of all trades and master of none.
Imagine it's magnificence if it would've put all his effort into growing just one trunk. But then again, it probably wouldn't be very interesting.
Another fine example of photography on drugs.
Especially when you realize the original looked like the middle shot.
And with a simple Photoshop filter you can make something fun and arty like the last morsel of weirdness.
What's your favorite??
I think we should call him "Three Trunk" for short.
I like this tree - it definitely has character! And your previous post on "photography on drugs" is HILARIOUS!!
BTW: your mail art arrived today - thank you!!! But you didn't include an address so I can send something back!! =-\

I love this line: "Imagine it's magnificence if it would've put all his effort into growing just one trunk. But then again, it probably wouldn't be very interesting." Fun photo!

I love the look of it photoshopped, I am just on the learning curve for that

Monica - glad the mail art arrived already! And fret not, it wasn't sent to you with any thoughts of getting something back. Just enjoy it!
Andria - thanks for stopping by and chirping in! I love this tree, I kind of relate to it on some strange level... LOL.
Lee - oh you'll have fun playing with PS filters. Such an easy way to make something crazy and fun. My favorite is the Sketch-Stamp filter. It strips all the color and shows you the basic lines! LOVE it..!!

I love the last photoshopped one. It looks like a painting by numbers. Love it!
