It is thought that this ancient tree - an oak planted during the reign of Henry Vlll - inspired the legendary character Treebeard in JRR Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings. Tolkien lived nearby and would walk these woods sparking his imagination to write his stories.
Treebeard was a giant tree that could walk and talk in Tolkien's novel. Such a tree was considered an Ent, and there were other Ents in Lord Of The Rings too.
The tree is natural and has not been adapted which makes it even more amazing.

After taking the previous sunrise shot it was time for a spot of birding. I was lucky to get a shot of the endemic lord howe silvereye flitting around a pile of fallen tree branches.
British fully rigged steel sailing ship 'SV Lord Lonsdale' was built 1889. It had 3 masts, a tonnage of 1756 grt and was (or is) 69.1 x 12 x 7.1 m tall. Lonsdale caught fire on 6.10.1909 being on voyage from Hamburg for Mazatlan (West Coast Mexico) in Port Stanley Harbour (Falkland Islands) and was beached to extinguish the fire. It had been loaded with coal. It had been hulked after the fire and then beached again in 1940/1942 as a wreck south of Punta Arenas.
CP 113 limbers over highway 50 after getting nailed for a hot wheel at the box at mile 25 of the MacTier sub. A nice mix of different roads add some colour to an otherwise bland landscape. CP 8939 wearing the Lord Strathcona badge was also a nice touch.

Lake Moraine has become my new favorite place on earth. The water color is unreal and the mountains that surround it tower above the water in a majestic array. This particular morning we were trying to enter in and we were yelled at to leave without explanation. We were very disappointed as we had previously been told we could go in since I am disabled. We drove up to Lake Louise and communicated with the traffic control people there and thankfully they let us in. It paid off to persist as this is the view that awaited us when we entered. I am so thankful that the Lord made a way for us to get in and behold the beauty that He made!
Today, with the festivity of the Epiphany of the Lord, Christmas ends for another year. We were looking forward to it, of course.
This Christmas, I admit that it has been the worst of all my life, to forget. Various reasons for disagreements and family dislikes, apart from the sad pandemic situation in which we live, have not favored the fact that they have been endearing, beautiful and magical Holidays.
We miss our childhood, when we enjoyed family gatherings, visits from friends, grandparents, cousins, uncles... This year, everything has completely broken down.
We live in a cold, distant society that does not help us to be better souls, better people, more humane and generous.
In this photo you can see the movements along the M-40 ring highway at the height of Hortaleza, with a lot of movement during the afternoon, caused by the end of the Festivities and the returns to the usual homes.
Starting tomorrow, a cold wave is approaching that may leave snow in the capital for three days, we will see what the situation remains.
I take this opportunity to wish you all a good Wednesday, Three Kings Day here, and much health, happiness, love and hope.

Final de las Fiestas de Navidad, Madrid, España
Hoy, con la festividad de la Epifanía del Señor, finalizan las Navidades un año más. Nosotros lo estábamos deseando, desde luego.
Estas Navidades, yo reconozco que han sido las peores de toda mi vida, para olvidar. Diversos motivos de desencuentros y disgustos familiares, aparte de la triste situación pandémica en la que vivimos, no han favorecido que hayan sido unas Fiestas entrañables, bonitas y mágicas.
Echamos de menos nuestra niñez, cuando disfrutábamos con las reuniones familiares, con las visitas de amigos, los abuelos, los primos, los tíos... Este año, todo aquello se ha descompuesto del todo.
Vivimos en una sociedad fría, distante, que no nos ayuda a ser mejores almas, mejores personas, más humanos y generosos.
En esta foto puedes ver los desplazamientos a lo largo de la autopista de circunvalación M-40 a la altura de Hortaleza, con mucho movimiento durante la tarde, propiciado por el final de las Fiestas y los regresos a los domicilios habituales.
A partir de mañana se acerca una ola de frío que podrá dejar durante tres días nieve en la capital, veremos a ver en qué queda la situación.
Aprovecho para desearos a todos un buen Miércoles, Día de los Reyes Magos aquí, y mucha salud, felicidad, amor y esperanza.
Mejor visualizar en grande.

The Lord Howe Island Group is an outstanding example of oceanic islands of volcanic origin containing a unique biota of plants and animals, as well as the world’s most southerly true coral reef. It is an area of spectacular and scenic landscapes encapsulated within a small land area, and provides important breeding grounds for colonies of seabirds as well as significant natural habitat for the conservation of threatened species. Iconic species include endemics such as the flightless Lord Howe Woodhen (Gallirallis sylvestris), once regarded as one of the rarest birds in the world, and the Lord Howe Island Phasmid (Dryococelus australis), the world’s largest stick insect that was feared extinct until its rediscovery on Balls Pyramid.
Ganesha (Sanskrit: गणेश, IAST: Gaṇeśa;), or Ganesh, also known as Ganapati and Vinayaka, is one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon.His image is found throughout India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bali (Indonesia) and Bangladesh and in countries with large ethnic Indian populations including Fiji, Mauritius and Trinidad and Tobago. Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify. Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom.

The statue which faces the Menai Strait here may look like a product of the British euphoria and mourning after Lord Nelson met his heroic death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. However, the statue was erected much later, in 1873, by an artist experimenting with concrete. It was also a useful landmark for mariners.
Art lover and sculptor Lord Clarence Paget, a former Lord of the Admiralty, lived at Plas Llanfair, up the slope behind the statue. He had used concrete to make statues for his grounds and noticed they were more durable than marble in this exposed area. He found that concrete was much cheaper than marble, bronze or stone and could be manipulated easily.
Sir Llewelyn Turner, a former Caernarfon mayor, recalled in 1903 that a concrete statue of Neptune, Roman god of the sea, was originally planned but he told Lord Clarence: “What has Neptune done for us? Nelson is the proper subject.”
The Admiralty happened to be surveying the Menai Strait at the time, and Lord Clarence accepted its suggestion that, with only a small alteration to the statue’s planned location, the artwork would serve as a navigation aid for mariners travelling in either direction along this difficult stretch of water.
Portland cement and iron for the internal framework were donated by suppliers. At the unveiling ceremony in September 1873, Lord Clarence acknowledged the help he’d received in creating the statue from a “faithful and patient Welshman named John Jones”.
The Admiralty had already marked the statue on its newest chart by the time of the ceremony.
Lord Nelson became a British celebrity after leading the Royal Navy’s defeat of the French at the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Shortly before his final battle against the French at Trafalgar, he used coloured flags on his ship HMS Victory to send a message to the whole fleet: “England expects that every man will do his duty.” The same words are inscribed on the base of the statue, facing the Strait.
The ground trembles like thunder ripping through the surface of the icy world of Hoth. The rhythmic pounding reveals something unnatural to this isolated, cold and barren world. Through the howling wind and drifting snow the shape of a monster can be seen, slowly it moves towards me. I can barely hear myself thinking, because of my racing heart, that this is the hour of defeat. Finally through hazed eyes, the shape of an Imperial walker, Storm Lord, I turn around and I flee.

The federal government's response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster stands as a testament to Our Leader's ability to pick the right people for the vitally important job of blaming Democrats for the Administration's failures.
