The Marshall Tucker Band put on a free concert here in Columbia, Tennessee this past week.  I was fortunate enough to be up close to get some great photographs, as well as enjoy the awesome music!  Here are a couple of my favorites . . .
In Concert On Stage Cant You See YEAH! Jammin Loving it

A walk in the park tonight revealed a glorious sky perfect for day dreaming.  blue sky and this one just a little bit scary looking shadow sky

On the way home this view was captured using the solarized filter.  Tennessee Hills

A couple more shots around my home, #1 and this one #2 I think these are better than my first attempt, #3 I also visited another cemetery the other day and got these shots just before sunset.#4 #5 #6 Working with natural light sure is cool!

These shots were taken in my own yard, view across the street I like this one the  best, would appreciate your comments . . .

These are shots from a local cemetary here in Columbia, TN.  The gravestones are dated in the 1800's, making them over one hundred years old, which is obvious by the condition of the headstones. still standing resting in peace This one I tried in Black and White, it's a little blurry tho.blackandwhite and yet . . . I found some vivid beauty amongst these ruins. beauty

While exploring the back roads of Tennessee, I have discovered the trees and woodlands in this area are some of the most unique and unusual I've ever seen.  Forever entwined, this tree seen on the original Natchez Trace seems to be evidence of two souls forever joined as one, shared is their mutual struggle to overcome the obstacles of celebrating their love, not achieved in their human life, but immortilized by mother nature in the isolated beauty of the Tennessee wilderness. Forever Entwined
