Outer Banks Beach Monster in black and white

I recently added a new fine art black & white infrared photograph to the gallery of an old, weathered tree stump on a beach on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  I've taken numerous pictures of this old stump at various times of the day in various seasons.  It has been weathered, ground down by the surf, and pushed around by storms.  But even so, it always remained on the beach and I was able to find it.

Some people like black & white photos, some do not.  Additionally, some people like the abstract, surreal qualities of infrared, some don't.  I personally like this picture, the surreal qualities, and the way the infrared darkened the sky and created surreal sand dunes in the background.  This is true infrared photography, not faked as other photographers often do in photoshop.

The texture and grain in the wood is beautiful and can be seen in other (color) photos of it that will be added to the galleries in the future.  I included this black & white fine art infrared photo of it because here it almost looks like some hairy monster crawling across the sand.  The picture would definitely be a conversation starter when hanging framed on a wall.

The location of the picture was on Pea Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  The photo was taken on a warm August morning shortly after sunrise.
