Just an interesting find while doing a random Google.
The Burmis Tree (tree on left) is a limber pine located in south western Alberta along the Crowsnest Highway and east of municipality of Crowsnest Pass. The tree died in the late 1970s after losing its needles. Its age was estimated to be between 600 and 750 years old. In 1998, it was toppled by wind, however members of local community refused to leave it lying. Efforts were made to fix the tree back up using rods and brackets. In 2004, vandals cut one of the tree's main branches. Locals again came to the rescue with a gallon or two of glue and a prop pole. The community rallied to have the new Highway 3 built around the tree rather than destroy the heritage symbol it has become. It is reported to be one of the most photographed trees in the world.

Taken on an early 1990s trip to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan.
The color really floored me... not something that one sees either on the West Coast or in the area of Manitoba where I live.
Lake Gogebic is the largest natural lake of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is located within the one million acre Ottawa National Forest. Lake Gogebic State Park is located along its western shore.
It is in the far western end of the Upper Peninsula, close to the Wisconsin border, and in parts of two counties, Gogebic County and Ontonagon County. The lake is also in two time zones, central and eastern.

I really like your original photo, it has a spooky Halloween feel to it. I fine your autumn color photo has somewhat of a
turquoise texture to it. With a little photo editing, it could be given more of a bluish tint.

Jan, in my comment about a turquoise tint I meant to add that I was referring to the last photo.

Love the OP and the first one in the comment. The colors is much better in the last shot.;-)

The Burmiss Tree (photo no. 2) is a masterful composition. Sometimes I
think advances in equipment, technology etc. tends toward less
thoughtful shooting. Maybe imagining that each shot cost a few dollars
would help?
Those geese look like characters, to be sure!
