I am trying to convey the vastness of the Piny Woods here in South East Texas to my viewers. This area had many saw mills starting way back in the 1800s and some of them still continue today. This photo was taken in part of the Angelina National Forrest just South of Lake Rayburn.

I was out driving around down logging roads and had my camera for that purpose. You can see the ground vegetation is starting to make its color sift for the Fall Season. These woods look like they go on forever and some do. Where i was standing and looking to take this photo, i could not see any other trees. All of the old Hardwood had been cut out many years ago, perhaps at the tun of the century.

These trees have to be around 50 years old in this forrest where i stood to take this photo. It is hard to get the vastness from this photo, but it is an amazing site to see, standing in a forrest like this. All the colors and light coming through the trees and the shadows cast from the trees make a beautiful photo in my mind's eye. I only hope that you can appreciate them like i do...

Initial 5 photo set was taken with the Minolta 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 Lens

As i was driving home on Millburn School Road today i saw a field that i have driven by many times. I looked and just happened to have my camera today so i got out and took several photos. I then decided to take a series going from left to right to make this panorama creation. To me, this photo symbolizes the Autumn is upon us.

I used my Minolta 35-105mm lens to take the initial series of photos. I could have cropped the photo to give it nice straight lines but i wanted for people to get the whole photo, not just a portion of it. So many photos that we look at are nice and neat, cropped to *perfection* and processed to the Nth degree. I wanted people to feel the rawness of this photo and also the beauty of it!
