Black and White
"“Black and white allows me to detach from the cliche ‘souvenir photo’ approach to photography.”
 – Guy Gagnon

A striking black and white photograph captures the haunting beauty of a lone dead tree standing sentinel on the Shenandoah Skyline Trail. The weathered, twisted branches reach dramatically into a moody sky filled with rolling clouds, while a flock of birds soars in the distance. The stark silhouette of the bare tree contrasts powerfully against the textured hillside and threatening sky, creating a deeply atmospheric composition. The surrounding landscape features gently rolling hills covered in wild grass, typical of the Shenandoah region's natural beauty. This fine art landscape photograph embodies themes of solitude, persistence, and nature's raw beauty in the Appalachian wilderness.
