Every spring this orchard turns white and blue. They spray the trees with something that turns them white, and band certain ones with blue. I'm not even sure if they are pear trees or apple. Can anyone shed light on any of this?
The sky shed light on these trees for exactly this moment. The rest of my photos from this shoot are all gray and yucky. I think these white trees look like bones.
This is so cool and eerie. I love it!
ReplyDeleteNice! It's clay, as a pesticide.

ReplyDeleteVery cool photo. At first I thought you had altered the color with the camera settings, but after I read your description I see that you didn't! Very Tim Burtenesque!
pear trees. niiice.
ReplyDeleteThat's both gorgeous and stark. I love this time of year when things first begin to emerge from the cold dark tomb of Winter. Ekekiel's dry bones beginning to receive warm breath and flesh! The focal point here, as well as blurring around it, is very effective.
ReplyDeletelovely! they look like antlers instead of branches!
