Description
Captured in stark black and white, this photo shows the water tower standing tall beyond the tangled brush and bare winter trees of Abilene State Park. It’s a quiet image, stripped of color, yet full of contrast and texture — a reminder of how time, nature, and human presence intersect in even the stillest corners of our state parks.
There’s something powerful about this scene — the way the tower rises above the landscape like a sentinel, enduring through changing seasons. Visiting Abilene State Park in the winter reveals a different kind of beauty: raw, unfiltered, and full of stories waiting to be told. The brush may be dormant, but the feeling is alive, grounded in memory, place, and perspective.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.
