Trees in snow last week. The snow has now all vanished and we face more flooding round these parts.

It was beautiful and sunny with no wind after our storm with Golden Sunlight late in the evening

A Girl And Some Tunes: The Girl With The Magic Balloons

Queens of the Stone Age " Hangin' Tree" www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8nmarTgPrM

This young woman has found a set of magic balloons. It seems the balloons will never stop flying. But their magic has sent her in a weird and lonely place...

Another episode in the "A Girl And Some Tunes" series. This time everything is more abstract and dreamy. Let's follow the girl with the magic balloons.

Model: Noemie

Strobe info: One Jinbei DC-600 with the native reflector and diffuser cover at 2 meters high, and 5 meters away right to the subject with an angle of 45°.

Fame is but a fruit tree

So very unsound.

It can never flourish

Till its stalk is in the ground.

This is believed to be the oldest living 'Live Oak' today in the world. It is estimated to be over 1400 years old and is protected as a national 2000 Millennium Tree and a South Carolina Heritage Tree.

It is 65 feet tall and had a circumference of over 25 feet. It shades an area over 17,00 square feet and it's largest limb is over 11 feet in circumference.

The tree is on the coast near Wadmalaw Island and has a school and road named in it's honor.

Thanks to jbnuthatch for the insperation in the name.

Research had to wait these days/weeks, because the Tree is running out of nutrients, as well as the InterWebs. I need to provide the PhD nutrition.

This Tree is 500 years old and I believe that Churchill walked this path with his beloved Clementine Holzier.

A very Merry Christmas to everyone and Happy Holidays!

Thank You for watching my Photograph...........

This was the weather today. Crappy. And just because of the crappy weather I took an extra walk up to the old tree at Välsta. We are expecting 15 C and a blue sky over the weekend so my next photo tomorrow will be a little different.

[ENG] The Chestnut forest of El Tiemblo (Ávila, Spain) it is a small forest of municipal property placed to approximately 1.100 m. of altitude in the header of the Reservation of Iruelas's Valley, to approximately 100 km from Madrid. It is the most extensive chestnut forest of the Central System, and on the autumnal station -the most showy and colouring- its paths are crossed by numerous visitors. Along the route we will be able to observe different species of trees and shrubs that they accompany on the chestnut-tree or form a part of the undergrowth of the chestnut forest (white hawthorn, hazel, elm of mountain, cherry, willows, holly, alder-tree, birch, heathers, ferns...). A section of the path passes parallel to the creek of the throat of the Yedra (Ivy), with it waters down all the year round and with a row of alder-trees that forming a small forest of gallery they wind close to the creek. With luck we can contemplate some species of birds of forest character (mocking-bird, blue climber, blackbird, thrush...).

[ESP] El Castañar de El Tiemblo (Ávila) es un pequeño bosque de propiedad municipal situado a unos 1.100 m. de altitud en las laderas de la Reserva del Valle de Iruelas, en la cabecera de la garganta de la Yedra, a unos 100 km. de Madrid. Es el castañar más extenso del Sistema Central, y en la estación otoñal –la más llamativa y colorida- sus senderos son recorridos por numerosos visitantes. A lo largo de la ruta podremos observar diferentes especies de árboles y arbustos que acompañan al castaño o forman parte del sotobosque del castañar (majuelo, avellano, olmo de montaña, cerezo silvestre, sauces, acebo, arraclán, abedul, brezos, helechos, ...). Un tramo del sendero discurre paralelo al arroyo de la garganta de la Yedra, con agua todo el año y con una hilera de alisos que formando un pequeño bosque de galería serpentean junto al arroyo. Con suerte podemos contemplar algunas especies de aves de carácter forestal (arrendajo, trepador azul, mirlo, zorzal...).

Taken at dawn at the river Tay near Stanley. One in a series that I think catch the feeling of paintings by Vallette.

If you don't know about Milton S. Hershey's story, I'd highly recommend reading about his life. He was a very selfless man who built an amazing trust fund that will never run out. Many children that come from a low income household can receive a great education for free through this school and then through scholarships many have their entire college bill paid for once they graduate from highschool. His selflessness gave so many people jobs even throughout the drought-ed times of the major depression.

The students here are given the opportunity to live adequately where they otherwise wouldn't have been able to have a sufficient place to sleep or food to eat every night after a regular day of school. All students live in a large house with house parents and go to school on this magnificently landscaped campus.

I drove around between jobs tonight and found a spot to shoot a few of the many beautifully lit trees. The grounds go on for miles and you could definitely get lost if you don't know your way around.

Another image from the same sunset in Washington Park - this one of the old twisted tree on the hill. I wasnt sure how this would come out and had to do a lot of manual blending - I'm super excited about the results though. Its not perfect but I'm happy with it and was going for an almost fairy-tale look. Let me know what you think!
