"Evening Light #26"

On this evening the sun just really came in underneath and lit up this mesquite, especially the ripe bean pods. Seeing it, I recalled how Ansel Adams had black and white photos that absolutely lit up aspens, tombstones, massive granite, and other objects to create his own pictures and saw that same inspiration here.

I may pass this along to my friend, GP, who loves converting my work into black and white images using some tools I haven't yet acquired for myself. If he takes this one on, I'll share his result as well.
