Another from my wonderful weekend in St. Simon. This was the most magnificent tree. It's been awhile since I had the time to shoot continuously for days. I took the opportunity to work on various styles and concepts I had been thinking about, from conceptual/emotional to fashion images.

A lone tree clings to the riverbank beneath the towering steel trusses of the Thebes Railroad Bridge, shrouded in morning fog. Nature and industry meet in a quiet, haunting balance, where roots grip the soil as iron spans the mist.
Think like a Tree
Soak up the sun
Affirm life's magic
Be graceful in the wind
Stand tall after a storm
Feel refreshed after it rains
Grow strong without notice
Be prepared for each season
Provide shelter to strangers
Hang tough through a cold spell
Emerge renewed at the first signs of spring
Stay deeply rooted while reaching for the sky
Be still long enough to
hear your own leaves rustling.

The cascades have a lot of exposed roots due to run off from rain and the continuous traffic that bombards these trails. The intricacy of the roots has always amazed me, everything is connected in a forrest.
Shot at the end of a great day waterfalling in Brecon a while back with David and Peter.
I have a mono conversion in mind for this one too.

Out of ideas this evening so went for a double created on my phone. Headshot taken this evening with the Samyang.

Yongnuo 560iv full power fired at the wall behind me to blow it out and provide a little detail in the shadows.

Trees often get very creative finding a way to cast permanent roots and I have been a keen observer for many years. One year, I even focused on trees along trails with my "In the Woods" series but that one ... #etbtsy

We last longer when we are firmly rooted.
Have you ever thought about which living species has the longest life span. It is the trees of the world. Some of the trees are essentially hundreds of years old, and some even thousands.
Have you ever wondered whether this could be because it remains firmly rooted to the earth, and living in harmony with the environment it depends on.
All the species of life which moves live for a shorter time. While these lovely trees seem to live for ever.
Interestingly we seem to think that its a boring life for the trees. Yet it attracts so many things to it, even if it remains there. Birds come and build nests. Insects and other critters create colonies in it. Even humans come and enjoy its shade. A whole social scene seems to be happening around it.
Metaphorically, how does this translate to our human pysche? Will we live longer and more stable if we are firmly rooted to some of our values? Lets reflect.

Just mucking around.
I've always wondered what rootedness must be like for our vegetative friends. Imagine, not being able to escape the elements. Or animals. Or insects. Things chewing on you... peeing on you... pausing on you... hollowing out parts of you and raising their families there...
Um... whenever I post something like this, I think of R Crumb. Or... more to the point, his older brother, who was also an artist. He died fairly young, and left behind a series of books, in which he'd done his drawings through the years. Looking back, you could clearly see the reflection of his burgeoning mental illness. I saw a similar series of images recently... paintings by... hmmm, Monet? Tracking the degeneration of his eyesight.
Um... yeah. So I sometimes wonder if I'm tracking my own mental decline here on Flickr... my own downward spiral into ever-weirder levels of weirdness...
Good thing that stuff is only visible in hindsight, after someone's dead and gone. (Although, I have been reading about the brain damage caused by migraines... and how it's cumulative... and how, over a lifetime, a migraineur's cognitive abilities are seriously eroded... )
That intense connectedness you feel with trees. The roots that blending modes the best was fan coral augmented with hand done lines.
Great scene spotted on a night out with Phill at a great location in Dorset. With Phill being a lot more agile, possibly from the consumption of artisan spiced beef jerky, we let him light the scene with the Back Light Scanner. It was his chance to prove that he possessed the re-imaginon and was worthy of becoming the third member of LACE. But the task had only just begun.
