Without the people to give it scale it looks much different. Don't know if you meant to capture the people or not, but I think it's a good thing you did.Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406704590565406630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-48149422114853576062018-12-22T14:33:17.745-06:002018-12-22T14:33:17.745-06:00An awesome place.

I lived in the Southeast for a couple of years, so it looked to me like the Spanish moss you see down there, and I thought it was a rare snow scene in southern Georgia, or someplace nearby. Couldn't be more off-target and still be in the Lower 48.Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-46952293519848386162018-12-22T11:50:10.532-06:002018-12-22T11:50:10.532-06:00That's a fantastic photo, Coey!

As soon as I saw the leaning, moss covered trees and the trail, I knew exactly where you were.Tony Galatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15119832467442771755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-53917930629292677462018-12-22T08:42:13.465-06:002018-12-22T08:42:13.465-06:00I didn't notice the two humans until I figured...I didn't notice the two humans until I figured out that what looked to me to be a large snake or Komodo Dragon in the bottom left of the photo was probably the remnant of a dead tree. As mentioned, seeing the people changed the scale such that it ruled out the snake/dragon in favor of a tree. I'm constantly amazed at how my imagination or expectation fills in what I see, especially on my early morning walks. Surely I would be the worst eye witness ever.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.com
