Description
Angel Oak Tree Charleston SC
The amazing angel oak tree on Johns Island near Charleston SC. This ancient live oak tree is said to be over 1400 years old and one of the oldest living things in North America. Folklore suggests that the ghosts of slaves have appeared around the tree as angels, though the tree got it's name from the estate of Justis and Martha Angel. I kinda liked the way it looked in the somewhat harsh lighting, as I liked the contrast it added to the highlights and shadows. I had to wait for a cloud to control the amount of light in the scene to get a proper exposure and used a circular polarizer to control the skies adding the rich blue color to the sky in the background.
Votes, Faves, and Comments are greatly appreciated! Thanks y'all! :)

Bangor, PA - United States
Love the colors, but mostly, I love that it there are so many branches representing different strengths that, together, help make the tree unique and stronger. It is the same with people. Each person is gifted in a certain way and together we can make a difference as we work together for the greater good. That's the first thing I saw when I looked at this. Very cool.

All of your photos are spectacular, as far as I'm concerned. Trees are great (especially trees like this one) because they make such incredible natural 'sculptures!" Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us, Dave! -Michelle with WNC Happening Magazine

This Angel Oak is a classic picture of survival. Through all the storms of life she has stood strong with her roots deeply embedded in the ground who gave her life. She has had to have help from friends in her many golden years but with friends bracing her she still stands tall. I think Mr. Allen captured her true spirit in this picture!
