One lone oak at the shoreline...

Though the sky is washed out, this huge, old oak was magnificent!

@Marion: Thanks, Marion; it was so large. I wish I had a person in the frame for scale.

It is magnificent. I'd try it in BW too, pushing the contrasts if necessary. You isolated the tree perfectly.

A tree with many stories, if we only knew.
I like how you isolated it showing it's shape and strong form.

A tree with personality! It could develop it due to its loneliness and weathering it all! I wonder if it can grow even bigger.....

@Japanalia: It will continue to grow as long as a hurricane doesn't take it. I wonder how many hurricanes it has already weathered.

Lovely! No bench under the tree? I cold imagine me sitting there just looking to the horizon.
