Petrified Tree

Back in October Margarit and I went for a hike into the hills near East Coulee.  There is an area that was once mined for coal.  There are some petrified trees in the area, that would have been preserved together with the coal.  It was a strenuous hike with a heavy backpack, containing my large format camera.  Eventually we got to this spot and I took this photograph.
This images was taken on Kodak T-Max 100 film in 4x5 format.  I used my Ebony view camera and a wide 75mm lens.  The film was processed in 510 Pyro, a developer that I make from scratch with raw chemicals.  The formula was invented by Seattle based photographer Jay DeFehr.
