In other news, the Host is out on blu-ray today. And I have been at a new job for the past few months. Its a new company being started by Robert Zemekis, of Forrest Gump and Back to the Future Fame. Its a startup company being funded by Disney. It should be interesting.

I shot this a couple of years ago, while visiting the North Shore in Minnesota. I carried the frame around with me for a while trying to frame things. I finally settled on this little rocky valley that I had been waiting to see if a stream would form in. I thought the sharp cornered, very straight frame was an interesting contrast to the wave beaten rocks and curvy stream.

I liked the reflective quality of the burnt bark. The area had suffered a large forest fire years before and was slowly recovering. From the holes in the bark, you can tell that the tree already had bug problems long before the fire got to it.
