Lonely Tree
Lonely Tree, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
On the outskirts of abandoned Fort Ord, California, an overpass leads from the ruined rows of barracks across the highway. I stood on this bridge in the fog, waiting for darkness to fall.
This tree seemed to me to stand alone, heedless of the traffic zooming by. I underexposed the image to increase the effect of isolation and gloom, and with the plan of brightening car lights later in the Photoshop darkroom.
