De Boab Prison Tree is een Australische baobab (Adansonia gregorii) die ten zuiden van het stadje Derby in West-Australië staat.
Deze grote holle baobab zou die in de jaren negentig van de negentiende eeuw als tijdelijke gevangenis zijn gebruikt voor Aborigines op weg naar de gevangenis in Derby. Tegenwoordig is, om vandalisme tegen te gaan, een hek om de boom geplaatst. Het is een toeristische attractie.

The Boab Prison Tree, Derby is a 1,500 year old, large hollow Adansonia gregorii (Boab) tree 6 kilometres south of Derby, Western Australia with a girth of 14.7 metres.[1] It had been reputed to have been used in the 1890s as a lockup for indigenous Australian prisoners on their way to Derby for sentencing. There is no evidence that the Derby Prison Tree was ever used for holding prisoners.[2][3]

Incredibly, this is one of many ancient trees in the grounds of Croft Castle (NT). Try as I may, I didn't take a photograph to really do any of them justice - I will just have to go back.

I've been busy creating 12 Festive Builds for the Brickfanatics Website I've also added a few lines of cheesy verse to accompany each vignette.
Built on a 8x8 plate, which is always a challenge, but a joy once complete.
This photo depicts a cypress tree I transplanted as a small sapling from the creek bed itself during my childhood. The camera position for this photo is almost identical to that for the companion posting "Winter Reflections", but here the camera is facing in the opposite direction. Today this tree is very tall and impressive, but not nearly so large as the sycamore tree in my "Winter Sycamore" postings, also depicting a tree that I planted as a child. The difference is the rate of growth--the sycamore grows much more rapidly and is much shorter-lived. The sycamore may live sixty or eighty years, while this cypress tree may still be standing in this location 1000 years from today. Can't help wondering if this posting will still be around then? Anyone venture an answer?

"A tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing its branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But tho', to the outer ear, this tree was now silent, its song never ceased." ~Anon
I too am appreciative of the vibration of the outer ear, but long to learn to listen better ~~~ to the silence of the inner ear...hoping to hear the song that never ceased.
This tree visually embodies for me the enthusiastic worship and song, and unless you are intent on listening, might miss it entirely!
Oh, the power of life!
Have a wonderful "song filled" weekend everyone!

This tree captured me as soon as I saw it. I dont know if I did justice to the "beauty" of it, but it was really amazing with its twisted gnarls...
It was also jutting off the side of a cliff - this made it substantially cooler, but I found the effect hard to capture!
More shots of the sunny, stormy skies of South Wiltshire and North Dorset which we enjoyed on New Year's Day.
You've got to love trees on a ridge, especially in this light.

Much photographed tree near Surprise View, Hathersage, Derbyshire. Chilly winter sunset. Sadly, the clouds disappeared and the evening dissipated quickly. In the company of Hans Davis (Sadloafer ).

I like trees at this time of year when you can see all the branches and I was lucky to see this one with a colourfull background

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. ~Henry David Thoreau
Every year I look forward to this rarest of *Treats* ( 13 years on Maui without the Aspen trees ) !!
Dog Rocks is a changeable landscape with the windswept tree being deciduous, and during summer the surrounding grasses turn brown. The rocks were formed 365 million years ago and are the oldest rocks known of in Victoria.

West Hills, CA - There is this tree on a hill that I have visited over the years. Witnessed it through the seasons and it's transformations. Mother nature has a way to remind us that regardless of the circumstances and trials we all endure, what remains is beauty.
