“Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back and reasons to stay.”
Quote ― Dalai Lama XIV
Sometimes I ask myself what my pictures will mean to me in 10 or 20 years from now... This one has survived 15y and it means a lot! My family roots are in this hidden northern spot at Peneda-Gerês national park. And this house it's still there, waiting... Quality is not the best: I tried to recover the original slide developing with Lightroom after scanning.
Natures architecture.
Out of my confort zone, normally i shoot seascapes.
This is a tree in my lokal wood. There are not many woods in my region. So if there is a tree like this it is very remarkable.
The IR foliage added a surreal mood and contrast.
An oldie but goldie, I took this image back in February of this year in Alexandria, VA along the banks of the Potomac. The morning was bitterly cold and the overhead clouds provided spurts of periodic snow while completely ruining the sunrise. Now, the DC metro area isn’t quite known of it’s stunning landscape or nature (monuments and architecture is where it’s at) so it’s always a bit of challenge to find some natural beauty.
I paced the shoreline for about 30 minutes trying to capture any glimpse of morning light hitting the Woodrow Wilson Bridge but ultimately didn’t get the shot I was looking for. While packing up and feeling frustrated about my lack of luck, I look up and see this. A large root snaking it’s way through the water and fast moving storm clouds over head. The horizon starts to clear, letting in some diffused light from the sunrise. I framed up, got my shot, and this image was the result! A perfect example to ALWAYS look for beauty and the unexpected and never give up until you find something. Sometimes all you need is a little patience, an open mind, and a keen eye!
The roots of a couple old trees are snarled and tangled - I guess locked together until the insects chew them up.
Happy Macro Monday!
Adrift in a balloon high above Roots by Cica Ghost reveals below a wonderful mix of dark tones and bright colors amid the tangle of twisted roots and rolling landscape. Like something from a fantastic dream, a world of wonder awaits the curious visitor to this magical place.
With a day of hiking planned, we started our day out with a nice breakfast at the famed Betty's Pies. Our first stop was Gooseberry State park which is one of the most popular in the State of MN with an estimated 620K visitors annually.
There had just been a flooding rain a few days prior which made for the gushing water over the falls. We've been here many times but it never gets boring, I always seem to find a new angle to shoot.

If we were meant to stay in one place, we’d have roots instead of feet.

These barren rocks in the Sea, does fill up my senses.......

We have not had rain for three weeks, The night before we received a small amount, and I was jumping with joy. These roots are dark from that rainfall.
GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
No comments today – just enjoy :-)

Beautiful Early Marsh-orchid (Dachtylorhiza incarnata subsp. incarnata). The genus name Dachtylorhiza means finger-lobed tubers in Greek (‘dactylos’ – finger, ‘rhiza’ – root) with reference to its palmately divided (2-5 lobes) tubers; while ‘incarnata’ in Latin means ‘to make into flesh’. So, the two scientific names together could sound quite poetic: ‘The flesh raised from roots’. Taken at Clattinger Farm, Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve, Wiltshire, England.
