The Story
I found this incredible piece of wood on a hike in Sunol, California. The way the light hit it was just magical, picking out the textures and that striking knot that looked uncannily like an eye. It really made me stop and think about the stories these natural elements hold.
It’s amazing how something that might seem like just a dead branch can have so much character and detail. The deep shadows and bright highlights really brought out the rough, aged surface. It felt like stumbling upon a secret sculpture crafted by nature itself, right there in the South Bay Area.
