I call these 3 Sycamore trees the "3 Amigos". They stand in the bend of the wash along Pipeline Trail. I really like them; they look and feel like ballet dancers, arching and curving. The water had been sitting for some time. This area of the wash receives very little sunlight in the Fall and Winter, so the water rarely evaporates. I love the reflection of the trees and rocks in the water. The water creates a gentle arc through the image. The scene has that quiet feeling of Autumn. I love the contrast between the rocks and the trees and the water. I also made a vertical/portrait type photo of this scene below. I am still deciding if the vertical/portrait version works as well as the horizontal/landscape version.

I took these photos with my EBONY SV810 camera and Fuji VELVIA 100 color slide film. I used a Rodenstock APO-SIRONAR-S 240mm f5.6 lens for the above photo and the Rodenstock APO-SIRONAR-S 360mm f6.8 lens for the bottom photo.
