The sun sets over Kings Creek Country Club golf course, near Cedar Creek Lake in east Texas. Pink and orange sunlight rolls across the hills and settles in the pond, while a storybook rock bridge gently rises over the water. The grass needs to be mowed; it tickles the edge of the frame, inviting the viewer in for an evening stroll. #sunset #landscape #iPhoneography

This used to be sprawling forest.

We razed giant oak, cedar, pine, redbud, dogwood… all in the name of development. First for the lake, then for housing, businesses, and recreation.

This is what deforestation looks like.

Beautiful, isn’t it?

The sun sets behind the trees near Cedar Creek Lake in east Texas.

I live at the edge of civilization, where the road meets the forest.

Nestled in the sprawling woodlands of east Texas, men have dammed a lake.

I watch as trees succumb to “progress.”

And refuse to surrender.

At least for now.

A breathtaking sunset over Cedar Creek Lake, Texas, on July 6th, showcasing a massive sunspot visible to the naked eye, near the center of the reddened solar disk. The sunspot, appearing as a dark blemish, is distorted by Earth's atmosphere. Numerous boats dot the lake in the foreground, silhouetted against the vibrant colors of the sky.
