147 - gimp week

This is another photo re-do. The original made an appearance on the blog exactly one month ago. It was published to the blog at a time when I was really seeing the advantage of boosting colors and contrast. I saw the original, and it just looked so dull, especially since I wanted to depict the awesomeness of what happened to this tree after being struck by lightening!

So here you have it. The photo re-do.

This tree was struck by LIGHTENING!

132

On a hike I saw this tree,
Which I am told was struck by lightening,
Hence the streak of missing bark running along the height.
