The tree at Cathedral Rock stopped me in my tracks. I was drawn to its magnificent crown and the wind-worn trunk that supported it. The trunk seeming to tell a long tale of the weather it had endured all these years. So, in one single take, I captured it with my 1957 Yashicaflex and was thrilled to bring out its detail through the use of a red filter. The rocky landscape seemed to bear witness to all it has survived in an unforgiving context.
