I didn't notice this until I viewed the larger version you posted first but I really like the subject matter in the foreground. It almost gets lost at first glance but when you notice it, it's really interesting.

I like them . Nice work.

Went to the beach at dawn Saturday morning, which I had planned to do after a week of sunny days tricked me into thinking I'd get some sunrise shots. It was heavy cloud cover and snowing lightly, which I think ultimately made for better results than if I'd had the sunrise.

gilhoy,

Nice!. This has a Dali-esque feel to it.

Ahh.. Very good! Someone just explained that to me the other day.

Here's what Wikipedia says (emphasis added): "The aspen tree (Populus tremuloides) forms large stands of genetically identical trees (technically, stems) connected by a single underground root system. These trees form through root sprouts coming off an original parent tree, though the root system may not remain a single unit in all specimens. The largest known fully connected aspen is a grove in Utah nicknamed Pando, and some experts call it the largest organism in the world, by mass or volume. It covers 0.43 km2 (106 acres) and is estimated to weigh 6,000 metric tons (6,600 short tons)."
