I have always liked this oddly shaped tree at the end of Road W not far from our house. It has a unique character.

The sky looked dramatic the evening I took this picture and the final edit didn't need any dodging or burning to look nice.

Beautiful. Wish I could see more of the sunset though, or something that'd add a little more interest to the composition. But all in all, a good one.
