Photography by Edward C. Robison III.
Columbus, WI
There is a stillness in this photograph. A lone deer stand rises above the dense underbrush of an abundant, hazy forest in rural Wisconsin. It echoes the actions of the hunters who use these structures to spend silent hours intensely focused on the sights and sounds of the natural world. Viewed from this angle, does the stand strike you as a place to watch or to be watched?
