In addition to the obvious carbon link between the tree and the gas pumps, the long exposure has allowed the car lights on the motorway (freeway) to create the lines of light under the tree. In my mind, these communicate rock strata, a further reference to the source of the petroleum. Also, the cars are in motion and thus represent the source of emissions in the image.

A bit tenuous - but there you have it!

I really liked this photo too. I'm disappointed it did not place higher. It was different and a little out of the box, and that makes it special in my eye!!

Kind of a semi abstract view. I'm not really caring for it much myself, though I do think there are some folks this will appeal to. Perhaps it is the composition. My eye wanders around and does not really get led to anything.
