Tree appreciation

This is just a lonely Argan tree in the desert of Morocco. I think that is clear enough that I love the "Lonely Tree" theme. But this one has an invisible peculiarity, or better a curiosity: the photo has been made running over the 100kmh on a off-road vehicle, while we were approaching the sand dunes. It is one of the really rare shots I ever made at 1/4000s, but I must say that the nikon shutter and its stabilizer are a hell of gear! Unbelievable isn't it?

Yes, its that tree. Yes, I waited in a 40 minute line queue to shoot it this time. Yes, I do feel like I need to confess to the photographic community my sins of horrible un-originality. Whats that? Didn't I just post an image of this tree a few days ago? Well, yes. No, mine does not look like the others. Ok, maybe it kind of does. This image is taken about a week after the post I made previously. This tree changes colors fast. I wanted to post this one too just to show the contrasts between the two images. I actually had to clone out a lens peeking into the frame from the guy next to me. Ahhhh, the solitude of landscape photography, just you, the wind, the trees, the nature, and 40 other dudes with cameras that are way better than yours Grrr. Happy Fall.

An other shot from the trip to the "Sandplacke"
Manually focused to infinity and let the camera rest on the roof of the car.
This waterfall is located along the trail to Opal Creek in Oregon. I don't know that it's actually called Tree Root Falls, in fact, the falls are not tall enough to merit a name I think. Its the water falling through the tree roots that make it interesting.
Taken over looking the Grand Canyon the tree had a interesting trunk and the background just added to the scene.
As I sit with my annual December head cold looking out the window at a dreary day I decided to go back and edit/review some older photos. Finding this shot of a female Cardinal taken at Muscatatuck NWR last spring, I am reminded that I am probably not the only one longing for the sun and a warm breezes of spring.

This tree made me think of the Whomping Willow from Harry Potter. It's not a Willow, but it does look like it could have magical powers, don't you think?
Me under this giant Baobab tree..............(credit Leo)
Adansonia digitata trees figure prominently into the cultures of people who live where it grows.
From highly nutritious food products, to fiber, medicine, water storage and animal forage, Baobab has earned the moniker “Tree of Life”.
Traditional African animist spiritual belief most often incorporates the Earth’s natural provenance, and infuses it with ritual; Baobabs represent ancient settlements, and the spirits of their ancestral owners become part of the trees. Often, animal skulls, wooden ‘fetiche’ assemblies, tokens of the harvest and other significant items can be seen attached to the trunks or amassed at the foot of the trees. Village meetings and ceremonial rites of passage integrate the Baobab.
The Hayfield ’20 Trees’ again, taken from a different angle….the village of Hayfield can be seen through the trees. The original of this wasn’t great as I’d shot pretty much straight into the low sun, but I quite liked it in black and white.
Hope everyone’s had a great weekend- I am 4 days into Sugar Free February and haven’t killed anyone yet, so all is well :)
