The eye of the needle

I took this one the night before one of my night-sky photography workshops at Crater Lake this summer. I'll be announcing my 2015 workshops this Friday at my website, if that's something you're interested in.

 

I've had a long fascination with this particular pine tree, which sits on the edge of Crater Lake. The erosive forces this thing has endured are incredible. Over the years, this tree has been twisted like a pretzel. It's also formed a hole in it, not unlike the eye of a needle, which is where I got my title for it. We could probably all learn something about resilience and patience from this tree.

 

Anyway, thanks for checking out the photo!
