When Jem at Shutterjunkie posted a photo of a
winter landscape last week, I was immediately drawn to a small tree on the shore of the lake. I commented that I had an affinity for “lonely tree” photos.
A lonely tree photo I had posted earlier this summer can be found here, along with an explanation of the symbolism I see in such scenes.
The lonely tree in this photo stands on the shores of Green Bay on a cold winter day, the sun of winter fighting to break through a layer of clouds, a symbol of life behind the apparent deadness of the tree. I say apparent because it will live again in the spring.

By the way, this post doubles as my entry in this week's Photo Friday challenge: Weight.

Yup, Jem rocks. But awsome job of this shot. Although nice to have referenced here, brilliant shot in its own right.
Nice effect on the edges. It's got an antique/authentic feel to it.
The border compliments the photo REALLY well. =) care to share how you did the borders? actions?
Great tone... gives an "unreal" atmosphere. Moon is a nice touch.
