Deep in the Forest, this golden beech tree stood out like a beacon. I love the way the vertical lines of other trees intersect it.
A dead tree near the footpath that runs beside Little Moreton Hall, Cheshire.
Although if you stare at it long enough (as in trying to get the contrast right) then more and more , it feels as if most of the branches are pointing south! ......, Toward the Black Country ! 😀😊
This tree has a beautiful crown. Has been longing to shoot it and found this corner in Endau, with a building just behind it to contrast against the tree crown.
A troll is a class of being described in Norse and Scandinavian mythology and folklore. They dwell in isolated areas in trees, rocks, mountains or caves.
This photography depicts the curious and interesting marking and carvings on the trunk of the tree exactly as they were seen in their natural state.

Image made in Forest Park with my Nikon F100, on the day that Katie and I met Ruthie for the first time.
I've been missing the colour green, now that I live amidst so much turquoise and gold. Not that there is anything wrong with turquoise and gold - far from it, but what with winter and everything, I've begun to have a hankering for trees.
Looking forward to see what this fine (if ultra-relaxed) specimen gets up to as the Spring comes on!
I've noticed Mistletoe growing increasingly in UK trees, so I read up about it and learnt that it's due in part to an influx of continental blackcaps from Germany that have started overwintering in Britain, with many thousands now spending their winters here.
'Blackcaps are migratory warblers that are becoming regular winter visitors to our bird tables. Berries, including those of mistletoe, are an essential part of their diet. On eating the white flesh of the mistletoe berry, the birds wipe their bills on twigs and branches, leaving behind the seed. If the seed is deposited on a host tree and manages to take hold, a mistletoe plant might germinate on the branch. It seems that blackcaps are more efficient at spreading mistletoe seeds than other birds, such as the mistle thrush, which also feed on the berries.' - www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2018/12/where-does-mistleto....
'According to the Anglo-Saxons, kissing under the mistletoe was connected to the legend of Freya, Norse Goddess of love, beauty and fertility. According to legend, a man had to kiss any young girl who, without realizing it, found herself accidentally under a sprig of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling.' www.thewhitegoddess.co.uk/articles/mythology_folklore/mis....

Revisited a concept I have worked with before to generate an image for Me Again Monday - thinking this would fit with the wilderness theme. I am also entering it as 32 of 115 made of wood.
This great looking tree is just off the B1416 in the NY Moors and easily visible from the road, if you're driving very slowly whilst stalking the trees on the moor as I was doing!
I just loved the shape...plus the tree within the tree ;-)
J aime beaucoup cette chanson de

J'ai tant caché mes différences
Sous des airs ou des faux semblants
J'ai cru que d'autres pas de danses
Me cacheraient aux yeux des gens
Je n'ai jamais suivi vos routes
J'ai voulu tracer mon chemin
Pour aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Ou l'on oublie ses souvenirs
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Se rapprocher de l'avenir
J'ai perdu tant de fois la trace
Des rêves pour lesquels je vivais
Je n'ai pas su te dire je t'aime
Seulement te garder
Il faut aussi dire ses doutes
Et les poser dans d'autres mains
Pour aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et dessiner des souvenirs
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et croire encore à l'avenir
Pour aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et dessiner des souvenirs
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et croire encore à l'avenir
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Se rapprocher de l'avenir.
As I hid my differences
Air or under false pretenses
I thought that others do not dance
Me hiding in the eyes of people
I have never followed your route
I wanted to trace my way
To go higher, go higher
Or we forget memories
Jump higher, go higher
Move towards the future
I lost both times the trace
Dreams where I lived
I have not been able to tell you I love you
Only you keep
It must also be doubts
And ask them in other hands
To go higher, go higher
And draw memories
Jump higher, go higher
And believe in the future
To go higher, go higher
And draw memories
Jump higher, go higher
And believe in the future
Jump higher, go higher
Move towards the future.

A quick snap that I took whilst walking around the grounds and gardens of Brodsworth Hall, Doncaster, with my family. I liked the way the path curves off into the distance and how the trees become less visible the further away they are, giving a sense of depth and perspective.
I thought this was a lovely scene and hope to return further into the Autumn and then the Spring and Summer in order to capture the changing seasons.
A tree and some kind of sunset... I don't know. I shot it pretty randomly, but it wasn't bad. The branches of the tree really makes the composition.

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.
On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably.
These days I take a far more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, and having moved from professional Nikon equipment to consumer bodies and lenses, I travel light less constraints and more emphasis on the pure capture of the beauty that I see, more akin to my original persuits and goals some five decades previously when starting out. I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to GETTY IMAGES, and the 22.893+ Million visitors to my FLICKR site.

**** This frame was chosen on August 7th 2018 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE (Highest Ranking: #80. This is my 103rd photograph to be selected, which for me is both amazing and exciting, as I never view my images as worthy compared to some of the awesome photography out there. EXPLORE is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful to every one of the 17.950 Million people who have visited, favourite and commented on this and all of my other photographs here on my FLICKR site. *****

Photograph taken at an altitude of Fifty seven metres at 10:29am on Wednesday February 28th 2018 off Woolwich Road and Treetops Close in the grounds of Abbey Wood open space in Bexleyheath, Kent, England.
'The beast from the East', a Siberian cold front and weather phenomenon, has swept across the United Kingdom duringh the past few days, and last night was Kent's turn to brace herself for the deluge of snow.

A different Image of a tree I upload a photo of a little while ago, this one has received a different processing method though.
Cyathea medullaris, popularly known as the black tree fern or mamaku, is a large tree fern up to 20 m tall. The trunk is covered with hexagonal stipe bases. C. medullaris is distributed across the south-west Pacific from Fiji to Pitcairn and New Zealand.
I spent a very pleasant two hours in the good company of these tree-ferns (Cyathea capensis) this morning, tweaking my composition, clearing away dead branches, and waiting for the best light.
The sky was lightly overcast which created this lovely soft-box effect... with no harsh highlights or deep shadows to make the details difficult for me to capture.
I honestly couldn't think of a place that I'd rather be... than in the Knysna forests.
