A snag is a dead tree that's still standing.

I was looking for something to shoot in a vertical video format.

This snag is vertical, for now.

Last spring, I noticed its leaves just never appeared. Later on I noticed a gash that must have been caused by lightning.

I'm going to miss it.

In the meantime, I'm going to leave it up as long as possible. A snag hosts a *lot* of life: insects, racoons, chipmunks, birds...

Here's a plain, vanilla YouTube video. 

And here's the vertical "short."
