Photographer Took A Photo of The Same Tree Every Day For A Year And The Photos Are Pretty Awesome

Michael Pach is a professional photographer in Colorado Springs who spent the last year photographing the same tree everyday and the results are just awesome. He found inspiration for his project on a winter's day when he looked outside and saw a Hackberry tree in a local park, just outside of his backyard that was all covered in snow and ice. Pack took a photo of the tree and then decided to continue photographing the scene for an entire year. The results of this year-long project can be seen at his blog Same Tree, Different Day

Each morning, he woke at sunrise to photograph the tree. If sunrise wasn't cooperating he spent time watching the scene throughout the day to see what would happen. What he found included things such as deer grazing in the perfect spot during a sunset, a moonrise over the tree on Christmas Eve and an incredible shot of lightning that drapes the tree perfectly, among others. 

We wanted to share with a few of these awesome photos today.
