Photographer's Statement:

As the sunset appears, time slows down. The trees immobilize, the clouds stop, and the farms reserve. This picture relates to “Healthy Tree, Healthy Me” because the fence shows that trees can be used for many purposes — in this case fencing in horses, keeping nature around it healthy and calm.
