Missoula has seen gale force winds lately, argh! Riding my bike home on these dark, windy nights has helped me realize that trees move more than our opinions, beliefs, fashions, discriminations, and judgements but still stay firmly rooted. They're REALLY flexible.

Anywho, Canon 20d, around 800 still frames, and shot in the U-District of Missoula.

Music: Mum
Song: K/Half Noise
Album: Finally we are no one.

    I love the shot at 00:38, the static streetlight makes the movement of the tree more effective. This is neat.

    I like this, despite my hatred for Missoula. :)
    Has it started snowing there yet? You should try it with snow on the leaves too.

    Mum is great, I used this same song in one of my projects a few years ago. I also like the odd motion blur.

    very good perspective an view forthe nature, in context with the city, interesting!

    Wow, great work... it's so poetic, the city's yellow light and the wind animating the trees by a desolate night... or is it just what trees are doing when we sleep at night, dancing... We often think everything is spoiled by the city, but the urban poetry is so powerful, this dialogue between nature and concrete is so revealing.
    Thank you.

    a hard thing to grasp for me: your as much in nature in a movie theatre as you are a million miles into the wilderness. Thank you.
