Three shots combined and tonemapped in Photomatix. Taken just outside Scotts Head opposite Charlie's place.
This enormous fig tree (well, not by Australian standards, according to my mom, but certainly by mine!) was growing at the end of Olvera Street in Los Angeles. I liked the morning sun coming through the branches.
Something a little different. I have a few bird shots from these locations.
We have two local tourist destinations with two huge old fig trees. Both have walk ways around them to keep people off the actual tree roots and understory plants.
Both trees are thought to be over 500 years old. In one of the photos i managed to get a person photo bombing but it still doesn't really give a true indication of actual size.
They are heritage listed so will be protected for as long as they can remain standing. There is so much information on these two trees i was not sure what to add. I will add both of their names so they can be found with ease via google.
First three photos are of the Curtain fig tree and the others are of the Cathedral fig tree.
These Fig Trees are of the strangler fig species (Ficus virens.) Normally these figs germinate on top of another tree and try to grow roots into the ground. Once this important step is accomplished, the fig will grow vigorously, finally kill the hosting tree and then grow on independently. In the case of curtain fig the hosting tree tilted towards the next one; the fig also grows around that one. Its curtain of aerial roots drops 15 metres (49 feet) to the ground.
Although these figs kill their hosts, they are an epiphyte which basically feeds from the ground, unlike a parasitic plant which feeds from the sap of the host plant/tree.
Matthieu 24:32,33
"Que l'exemple du figuier vous serve d'enseignement : quand ses rameaux deviennent tendres et que ses feuilles poussent vous savez que l'été est proche.
De même, quand vous verrez tous ces évènements, sachez que le Fils de l'homme est proche, comme aux portes de la ville."
Mat. 24:32 "Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its buds become tender and its leaves begin to sprout, you know without being told that summer is near.
33 Just so, when you see the events I've described beginning to happen, you can know his return is very near, right at the door."
