... is not dead ! :o) It actually has leaves on one part of it in summer - hard to believe, isn't it? It's apparently the most photographed tree in Sutton Park unsurprisingly, owing to its architectural appeal. Took a shot of it while out with Zak today, so here it is!
is it all one tree, or a cluster of cousins? can't quite be sure...
and it's another rainy morning here -- perhaps i should take my camera out again!
"Stay yet, my friends, a moment stay—
Stay till the good old year,
So long companion of our way,
Shakes hands, and leaves us here.
Oh stay, oh stay,
One little hour, and then away..."

Many people are starting to describe the loss of the massive BaoBab trees as "The Last March of the Wooden Elephants."
Baobabs thousands of years old could be succumbing to climate change, scientists fear. Botswana's Chapman's Baobab is the best-known victim of their sudden deaths. A national monument of Botswana, it was more than 82ft in circumference. On January 7 2016, its six trunks all collapsed and died.
Some of Africa’s oldest and most unusual trees have mysteriously started dying – and scientists think climate change maybe to blame. An exceptional number of baobabs, which are known to live for up to 2,000 years – and maybe longer – have died in the past 13 years, experts found.
Baobabs, also known as “dead rat” trees, after the shape of their fruit, are among the most distinctive plants in the world, with up to seven giant trunks that can look like pillars. They start growing as a single trunk but over time develops others. Thanks to their size, they contain hundreds of square meters of wood but have massive hollow centers.
Adrian Patrut, a Romanian professor of inorganic and radiochemistry, and colleagues used radiocarbon dating to analyze more than 60 of the largest and oldest baobab trees in Africa to try to find out how the trees could grow so large.
To their surprise, they found that since 2005, nine of the 13 oldest, and five of the six largest baobabs had either died or had their oldest parts collapse.
Their paper, published online this week in Nature Plants, suggests that climate change may be affecting the ability of the trees to survive.
Prof Patrut told The Independent that "El Nino - warm currents that travel east across the Pacific Ocean - had increased dry conditions over the past 20 years, leading to drought in Southern Africa, which was thought to be one factor in the trees’ demise." Further research is required to confirm their findings.

This is the front lawn to the Yerkes Observatory in Lake Geneva Wisconsin. The building is to the left of this scene. I took photos of it but due to the placement of the sun, it was pretty much all in shade.
As I was making my way back to the main road I noticed the sun peeking through the low hanging branches of this tree. So, to avoid leaving empty handed I stopped and grabbed this shot of the sunburst and enjoyed the shade from the tree for a few moments :-)

I found this lone tree in the mountains just outside of Fort Davis, Texas. It really stood out as there were no other trees of that type anywhere.. I thought is was rather majestic looking. View On Black
Sorry, another 2010 shot but with the new camera. I found this beautiful tree and lined up against the sunset. Tweaked in Photoshop CS5. Hope you all enjoy the weekend! Maybe I'll be able to get out and do some shooting with the Nikon. :):):)
A second time visit here, where I got some shots back in Autumn 2013. However, I really wanted a snowy backdrop next time, but will have to wait for that one.
HSS everyone, quite a lot of PP done on this one: 3XP HDR image, converted to black and white, the line of trees photo-shopped to increase amount and perspective and finally a little bit of mist and contrast reducing in the distance.
