it was on a beautiful, crisp winter day at belcarra regional park in the vancouver suburb of port moody that i came across this wonderful tree. backlit by the setting sun, it provided a beautiful silhouette against the sky. i composed the shot and called it a day.

it was not until i started editing the image some time later that i ‘saw’ a person arching his/her back struggling or juggling or indeed balancing a heavy load of something or other… hence, the title.

this photograph has elicited many a comment: everything from ‘it’s a pregnant woman’ to, dare i say, ‘i see the male form!’.

what do you see? 😉
