Description
While out in the dark at Trinity (AKA Clair Engle) Lake in Trinity County, California, USA, I was struck by the way this stump leaned in a direction consistent with the galactic core of our wonderful little galaxy. I thought it just begged from some light painting under the stars so I grabbed my trusty flashlight and did just that.
Trinity Lake is a large reservoir that was flooded after the completion of the Trinity Dam in 1961. The area flooded was heavily wooded and most was logged before flooding the lake, leaving behind myriad submerged stumps. These stumps make great habitat for smallmouth bass when under water and great textures for night photography when the lake level drops. I liken them to giant wooden spiders as much of the earth under the roots erodes away with the fluctuating lake levels.
