The sorcerer's pronouncement. Slickrock plateau below Head of the Rocks overlook, e. of Escalante, UT

A gnarled, ancient pine tree - with new growth on one side and dead limbs on the other - appears to be pointing off to the right of the image. Beneath its pointing limb another, more lively pine casts shade on a harsh desert-like terrain. The sky shows wispy clouds, adding depth to the image. Canon 6D, f/8, 19mm

Imagine hiking at night and having your headlamp beam hit that one.
