Cone of Your Own

If you want to duplicate this shot, here’s the recipe:

-Place a pine cone on an asphalt street.
-Flatten repeatedly using multiple vehicles.
-Expose the crushed cone to elements for a couple of weeks.
-Wait for the golden hour before an autumn sunset.

Or…

You can go for a walk right now with your camera and find an equally compelling castoff from nature.

Don’t underestimate having a cone of your own.
