In the woods of Joe Mann stands a proud flying pine, fearless against time and the elements. Its roots, exposed by erosion, are like veins clinging to the sand, a silent testament to perseverance. Though the ground is treacherous, the tree refuses to budge, its crown still reaching proudly to the sky.  
This extraordinary shot, captured with infrared technology, reveals a world normally hidden from the human eye. The colours transform, the light distorts, and a new dimension comes to life. Just as the tree shows its roots, infrared technology exposes a different kind of truth - one that lies beyond the visible spectrum.  
It is a fusion of power and mysticism, where nature and technology come together to remind us how deeply connected everything is, both above and below ground.
