I am always amazed when I come across a lone tree. I wonder about how this exists without the company and companionship of others.

Since trees 'gather together' and decide which one(s) are lacking in nourishment and water, thereby deciding who should receive the most, this one is totally dependent on its surroundings of sand and salt water, as is a Monterey Cypress.

I set up my tripod and waited for the proper lighting. I walked around to admire the subject and shoot it from the best angle. I wanted to show the rocks, sand, sea, and bright, beautiful, cloudless sky all coming together as accessories for this unique tree.
