Forest Trump

In The Pink Of Health

This is what the good citizens of Montreal refer to as the Lipstick Forest. The manmade pink ``trees'' were the perfect foil for the recessed lighting that reflected off the concourse. I was captivated by the scene for a couple of reasons. First, the texture of the ceiling meant that the trees were actually reflected in the ceiling itself. Second, the flooring provided a soft reflection of the overhead lighting in the main concourse. I took about four or five frames but this one had the balance just right, between the pink on the left and the gold on the right. It was a quirky shot, but one that just had to be taken because it was so unusual.
