Among the women
who came out of their homeland
was the sorrowing Fatimih Begum,
widow of the King of Martyrs.
She was a holy leaf of the Tree of God.
Abdu'l-Baha, Memorials of the Faithful, p. 172
Auf der Insel Rügen befindet sich ein großer zusammenhängende Buchenwald, der auch durch den Nationalpark Jasmund umfasst wird. Er gehört zum UNESCO-Weltnaturerbe „Buchenurwälder der Karpaten und alte Buchenwälder Deutschlands“. Der Buchenwald bietet für 10000 Tier-, Pflanzen- und Pilzarten einen Lebensraum. Die Buchenwälder besiedelten ganz Europa, wurden aber bis heute stark zurückgedrängt und dezimiert, so dass ein zusammenhängender großer Buchenwald mit alten Beständen schon etwas besonderes ist. In Märchen ist der Buchenwald der Inbegriff des Waldes.
On the island of Rügen is a large continuous beech forest, which is also encompassed by the Jasmund National Park. It belongs to the UNESCO World Natural Heritage "Primeval Beech forests of the Carpathians and Ancient Beech Forests of Germany". The beech forest provides a habitat for 10,000 animals, plants and fungi. The beech forests populated throughout Europe, but were until now greatly reduced and decimated so that a contiguous large beech forest with old stocks is something special.
I had a walk on the fields yesterday and stopped at an apple orchard to take a few captures of the lovely blossoms.
One of the few shots I managed to get while I was away. Stopped on the side of the road, left the family in the car, jumped a barb wire fence and snapped of a couple....of shots that is.
The legendary Smithsonian tree that was supposed to be in a secret Japanese garden. Guess I found it accidentally. Decided to go with a f2.8 shot to keep only the trunk in focus and I liked the soft look of the leaves. yea its not tack sharp corner to corner. yea its a crime. kill me. Happy Thursday everyone! :)

After deciding where I wanted to shoot sunset at Toroweep, I climbed back up the cliff and saw this. I thought it was a good omen for the evening…and it was.
Thanks for looking!

This pine forest presents this regular pattern in the trees layout because it was part of a reforestation program
Anochece en el pinar. La disposición regular de los pinos proviene de un programa de reforestación de la zona.

Autumn leaves are falling 'round us
Time to gather all those many thoughts
Of all the things that might have been
Or gained at such a cost
For some of us there's endless hoping
For some of us a craziness, too
Holding onto better reasons
Works for me and you, you know it's true
