Dead Juniper Trees against the clouds

These Juniper trees are typical of many in Utah's Tintic valley in Juab county. On this day the "Clouds are (were) hung for the poet's eye". The two images strike a theme of inverses. In one image the trees are in full sunlight and the background is composed of dark storm clouds. In the other the old gnarled tree in the foreground is in the shade and the background is bright clouds with great structure. The black and white rendering is dramatic. There had been a series of storms in the valley. Within minutes a hail storm started.
