After searching for a single symmetrical tree to photograph, I came upon this tree and an empty bench along the Lake Huron shoreline. It was such an inviting scene, I knew I had found what I had been looking for - or, so I thought. As I was facing east preparing to shoot, I noticed exceptional skies approaching from the west. The lighting and subsequent cloudscape transcended what I had envisioned; so, I waited there until a complete west-to-east shift in the horizon occurred. After several hours, the drama began to unfold and this image became the bonus that sometimes occurs when one is patient.
