While here in California I was able to spend time in the Muir Woods National Monument. Since I visited the park during the week I pretty much had the park to myself for the first 2 hours that it was open. Confined to the the trails it was hard to make wide angle shots of the trees so I focused on picking out details. Found this group of branches hanging low enough to set it against the trunk of these other trees. I just had to shift down until the spaces between the trees were closed. I converted it to black and white to bring out the texture and light in the image. If you are ever in the San Francisco area and have an hour to kill you should definitely head out to Muir Woods.
