A Cypress Tree anchors a tiny inlet along the Currituck Sound at Duck, North Carolina on the Outer Banks. One the most viewed shots on my web site, I was astounded to find out I had never posted it on flickr.

The calm quiet strength of a tree
Anchored deep in the earth
Reaching high in the sky
The calm quiet strength of a tree
The calm quiet strength of a tree
Full of life from its roots
To the tiniest branch
The calm quiet strength of a tree
Sunday night's Aurora Borealis display at Shenandoah's Buck Hollow Overlook. On the spur of the moment, I drove out to SNP (along with several friends) after seeing the reports of a strong KP8 solar storm. Very cool to see a little Northern Lights action in Virginia!
This photo was taken after the more intense action had completed. I have some photos of that but I don't think my position was as good. I like how that tree anchors the photo and the clouds in this frame were very interesting. Shouldn't have purple in the sky where you see it, but I guess that's what a strong solar storm can do. Very cool to see and photograph.
Another walk along the river at lunchtime. This time looking towards Anchor Quay and with the Castle on the hill in the distance.
Another aurora shot from April 11-12 Aurora borealis from Beiseker Alberta. Brad Russell and I headed out on a Red alert from aurorawatch.ca during a snowstorm in Calgary! Brad's head is in the lower centre by his Aurora composition (the link flic.kr/p/n4heQH) Brad used the "Charlie Brown tree anchor!

Again great rain atmosphere caught in the first hour of my trip last weekend. What caught my eye though was the the trees positioned centre of frame leaning right, left and right. balancing each other out. And the left straight tree anchoring it all together.

Hope is an anchor and love is a ship
Time is the ocean and life is a trip
You don't know where you're going
'Til you know where you're at
And if you can't read the stars
Well, you'd better have a map
A compass and a conscience
So you don't get lost at sea
Or on some lonely island
Where no one wants to be
from "You'll Be There"

This one's for Bertie Bassett...a little bit of green...lol!
Shadows of clouds scud across the landscape, a single tree anchors the view.

The outer wall of an old factory, closed and much of it already torn down (it was a lovely, hulking mass of rusting black corrugated metal in patchwork patterns with corrugated green fibreglas, that I drove by many times thinking "I must photograph that," but it was gone before I did).
Elements that are extracted from their context can sometimes be amusing to me, for example, the letter A on this brick wall. I did see other letters elsewhere on the wall and figured they were at one time the acronym for the company name. I forgot what the other letters are (I'll research that again some day). But the A in this photo is stuck on its own, looking conspicuously and absurdly meaningless. The two bare trees anchor the composition and fit well into the dark, chilly atmosphere af the place. I think it is now a parking lot.
Four green portions of trees anchor this photo of one of my favorite barns near my hometown. Living in Minnesota, we are often blessed with late spring snowstorms that bluster and blow threatening to stay around for the next few months. They don't and because it is late spring, the snow usually clings to everything and as it comes down, it is as if God shook the globe and let the snow settle.

Autumn has arrived in Cornwall!...
Finding mist (to add a bit of mood) on my days off seems to elude me. When I'm working though, mist or beautiful sunrises are commonplace of course!
I wandered these woods looking for colour and light. The bold foreground tree anchors the shot and indicates a start point - leading towards the distant tree standing in a clearing - connected via an autumn-leaf-strewn path & stream.

A small scene that I spotted while walking in Te Mata Park earlier this week.
The golden hues of the sunlit hills contrast with the cooler, misty shadows, generating a complementary interplay between warm and cool tones. The vibrant green of the illuminated tree anchors the composition and serves as a focal point, standing out against the subdued background while adding a sense of life and energy to the scene.
This is an image along highway 4 just outside Woodstock in Vermont. It was really raining at the time of this image but I liked how the mist was coming in and out of the colorful foliage. But what I really liked was the reds in the foreground that gave the image some punch. I know this is kinda of abstracty but the mix of colors was too much to pass on especially since the lower right tree anchored the rest of the image
OK. The votes are in and I have been convinced that my original vision is better (trees anchoring the Milky Way and bookending the image). Thanks!

Ever since I saw Brad Goldpaint's Milky Way pano of Crater Lake, I've wanted to take this shot. After 2 months, I finally got up to Glacier Point to give it a go. Was treated to a beautifully clear night.
This is not an exposure blend like I usually do. The quarter moon supplied just enough illumination to show off Half Dome, so despite the high ISO setting, I chose to go with single exposures
This is a pano of 12 images shot at 15 degrees rotation to insure sufficient overlap and reduce the scalloping at top and bottom. I got as close to the edge as possible so that the two trees were almost directly north and south of me and would bookend the Milky Way. Also chose the location so that Half Dome would be close to the 1/3 position.

It was one an epic sunset last night in bay area california
I drove by the coast and saw the colors pop while I driving. Pulled over and launched my drone to get a different perspective of the coast with cypress trees anchoring in the frame
"North Window to Turret Arch:" Through the towering frame of the North Window in Arches National Park, Turret Arch rises like a distant guardian beneath a sky of drifting clouds. At the base of the view, two small trees anchor themselves in stone, yet reach for the sky, quiet sentinels of resilience thriving where life seems least likely.
I love the colors and the wavy clouds and how the tree anchors my eye to the warm yellows and deep blues

Beyond the freshly ploughed fields, the village of Elchingen lies quiet on the HƤrtsfeld near Neresheim, its church spire rising like a marker of belonging. The sun falls broad and warm across the land; furrows run like lines in a hand that has worked for generations. To the left, a row of trees stands, one solid tree anchoring the edge of the field; beside it a path and a road trace their way past the green.
Where the trees grow, the grass is thick and high, a living seam of colour. The scene feels both present and old ā a countryside still breathing, a horizon that remembers.
Hinter den frisch gepflĆ¼gten Feldern liegt Elchingen auf dem HƤrtsfeld bei Neresheim, der Kirchturm ragt wie ein Zeichen von Heimat empor. Die Sonne breitet sich weit und warm Ć¼ber das Land; die Furchen ziehen sich wie Linien in einer Hand, die seit Generationen arbeitet. Links steht eine Baumreihe, ein einzelner krƤftiger Baum markiert den Rand des Ackers; daneben ziehen Weg und StraĆe vorbei am GrĆ¼n.
Dort, wo die BƤume wachsen, steht das Gras dicht und hoch, eine lebendige Naht aus Farbe. Die Szene wirkt zugleich gegenwƤrtig und alt ā eine Landschaft, die noch atmet, ein Horizont, der sich erinnert.

"The calm quiet strength of a tree
Anchored deep in the earth
Reaching high in the sky
The calm quiet strength of a tree
The calm quiet strength of a tree
Full of life from its roots
To the tiniest branch
The calm quiet strength of a tree
And oh, how it comforts me
How it teaches me
Without a sound
Then I realize at once
That this tree and I are one
In eternity
The calm quiet strength of a tree
From the weight of its trunk
To its delicate leaves
The calm quiet strength of a tree
The calm quiet strength of a tree
Showing anyone near
All the secrets of time
The calm quiet strength of a tree"

This shot captures a beautiful tangle of rooftops and textures, layered beneath a sky that hints at impending rain. The gritty quality of Kentmere 400 pushed to 1600 brings out an expressive depth here, transforming the scene into a quiet study of architecture and atmosphere. The Rolleiflex 2.8GX really shines in handling the contrast ā the darker shadows in the trees anchor the foreground, leading the eye up toward the intricate, almost woven pattern of rooftops, and finally drawing attention to the cathedral in the background. The gothic spires seem to float, partially obscured by the atmospheric haze, almost like a ghostly silhouette above the modern rooftops below.
Thereās a wonderful interplay between the sharp lines of the buildings and the softer, grainier sky, which seems to diffuse any hard light and wrap the scene in a gentle glow. This choice of film and the push to 1600 enhances that delicate grain, giving an almost tactile feel to the image ā you can sense the texture in the clay tiles and the wear on the stucco walls. The antennas and chimneys add subtle interruptions to the skyline, modern details juxtaposed against the timeless architecture of the cathedral.
Technically, pushing Kentmere 400 to 1600 was an inspired choice here, adding drama to the clouded sky and bringing out the textures that might otherwise have been lost in a standard exposure. Itās a moody image with a rich tonal range, balancing detail with abstraction, and the Rolleiflex's square format provides a sense of symmetry that really suits this balanced composition. Itās like a love letter to urban architecture, caught in that delicate space between tradition and modernity.

Foxlease Farm in Upperville, VA is the former estate of John Archbold, a co- founder of Standard Oil. This large equestrian estate includes extensive training facilities for polo, eventing and foxhunting. In the 1990s the owner added an attractive stone center building to existing 19th century structures, transforming them conceptually into a Mas, the distinctive architectural style of traditional farmhouses found in Provence, France, where the family spends time. The work of Jacques Wirtz, the world-famous Belgian landscape designer, was the primary inspiration for the landscape of the farm. His signature ācloudsā of undulating boxwood frame the front and rear of the house and and appear strategically throughout the surrounding acreage, creating a subtle green architecture that serves to preserve and enhance the spirit of place within this vast countryside. From the rear of the house spectacular views of a lake, stream and small waterfall are the primary focus.
At the western end of the lake a weeping Katsura tree anchors the space next to a small orchard. Completing the scenery are numerous outdoor entertaining spaces sur- rounded by expanses of green pastures. High ceilings and contemporary art dictate the style of the interior of the house.
The brochure above states that the house was old construction with a new center piece but the tour guide told us it was all new construction, so I don't know.

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. " ā N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society
I've loved the challenge of this water line. No matter how many times I've told myself to not compensate for the moving water, the tree anchor dancing around in the wind, the long boarders crossing the bridge and making a lot of noise, and the traffic on the highway flowing, these factors have still impacted my ability to send this line.
The more experience I get on the line, the better I am doing at bringing my focus back to my breath and keeping my feet soft while finding my ever changing balance and taking one step after another. I absolutely love how this practice does such a great job of giving instantaneous feedback and keeping my mind, body and soul in the present moment.
While I haven't sent the line yet, I set a new PR by getting 3/4th's of the way across this 117 foot (Anchor to Anchor) double stacked enlightenment line.
