This old tree was a favorite of mine for sunset photos. It is gone now, taken down along with a nearby old barn.

John, albeit a very dark image the larger version comes across pretty neat for a silhouetted take on this grand old tree. Too bad they've taken it down along with the old barn also. Hard to understand why things like those personal treasures or icons get removed over time....I've had similar encounters over the years, one cattle loader or chute as they're called in particular.....

Silhouettes of trees at sunset can make for some fantastic images in my opinion. Wonderful branches in this tree (except for the odd chopped off one at the bottom right). Your sunset sky is dark and foreboding, adding to the majestic but also somewhat "scary" look of this tree silhouette. The blown-out spot in the sky looks a bit funky though. Too bad such a majestic old tree is gone. . .
