Ellis Island Sycamore • Nature Photography

On a visit to Ellis Island last month I shot these beautiful white sycamore branches against a clear blue sky. I can't ever get enough of the trees in the winter months when they are rife with structural details. I guess its a bit like viewing a skeleton. The good thing is that they come back to life in Springtime... still waiting!

I photographed the tree with my Canon 5D camera and 70-200 mm lens.

Thank you @juliank for creating @photocontests!

The tree standouts out in black and white as well.

Thanks for the art and the delegation @overkillcoin... minnows, dolphins, whales... I’m down with squid!
