Dead Wood Photographic Idiom

Posted on April 7, 2010 by Mike

Dead wood old trees that have died near a large lake

Dead wood is an English idiom that means that an organisation has a lot of people who do not contribute much or are not useful any more and need to be removed, just like dead branches from a tree.
I thought this title very apt for today’s photograph taken at the side of a large lake near Kuiburi National Park Thailand. Although I fancy the trees in the picture are past pruning!

Equipment: Canon EOS 1000D 55mm Lens

    Dead woods means people that cannot be moved, a hopeless person that we have joked around locally.

  • Ratty

    Those trees certainly fit in both ways. They look like they don't quite fit there.

  • The TEFL Don

    Rainfield glad to see it means the same in Malaysia.

    Ratty-true they do look sort of weird, the lake is actually a dam, the water level was low so maybe when its full the trees are nearly under water?
