Marching Ent

Finally, the nightmares have begun to diminish and the terrifying story can be told. What began as a quiet picnic under a shade tree soon turned into a horrifying travail.

Just as I settled down and prepared a spot for lunch in the peaceful forest, I heard a strange grumbling sound. Looking up, I was shocked to see the tree next to me advancing aggressively, creaking and groaning loudly. It’s grotesque burls were quivering and it’s branches thrashing about. There wasn’t a moment to waste - I bolted away as quickly as I could. Fortunately, I grabbed my camera and as an afterthought took a photo of the beastly tree as I fled.

My psychiatrist has recommended that I give up picnicking and stick with fast food from now on.

 

This photo was taken by a Kowa/SIX medium format film camera with a KOWA 1:3.5/55mm lens and Zenza Bronica 67mm SY48•2C(Y2) filter using Kodak TRI-X 400 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
