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.
Trees anchor you to the ground while the water of the river transports your mind to a greater sense of calm and tranquility.
Otter Lake in late November with a partial freeze, reflections from the forest, and a downed and decaying 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.
Taken from La Chnou 📍, in the La Chaume district of Vendée 🇫🇷, this photograph captures a suspended moment where light vibrates from foreground to background with almost liquid intensity 💧✨.
Two cormorants 🐦🐦, one perched on a rock , the other on a colorful buoy 🔴, seem to float in a reversed world 🌍 where sky and water merge into one.
Chromatic reflections 🌈 and delicate light resonance 🔆 transform the water’s surface into a vibrating mirror , where every element — bird, object, tone — becomes a note in a silent composition 🎶.
In the distance, the coastline and forest fade into a misty horizon ️🌲, anchoring the scene in balance and serenity ⚖️🌅.

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.

📍 Luxulyan Valley 🍂🍁🍂
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

The Tree
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

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.

"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.
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
I love the colors and the wavy clouds and how the tree anchors my eye to the warm yellows and deep blues

I like the tall tree anchoring the frame in this down on view looking north (east) off the S 27th Ave overpass as a Proctor Yard crew brace of CN power is getting lined up to run around a cut of hoppers in the small yard at Missabe Junction. The pair of rebuilt tunnel motors bracketing an SD40-2 (BLE 903, IC 6261, and DMIR 408 all in CN dress) will couple up to the other end and pull them down the ramp under Dock 6 and onto BNSF's ex Duluth Transfer (NP) trackage to access the CN owned Hallett Dock to load limestone.

Ancient National Bristlecone Pine Forrest near Bishop, California
Elevations 10 to 12000 Feet...
Roots from the Bristlecone Tree anchored into the Earth...
Summer Dreams
Cows in the meadow
A lone oak stands
Full and tall
Signs of harvest
Coat the golden ground
Cover.
Farm structures
and trees
anchor the distant horizon
Wispy clouds
paint the vast sky.

A lovely corner in Berkeley. I"m very fond of the small grove of redwood trees, anchoring this green island. . . 😊
--in an otherwise concrete city grid.
An old Red Cedar Tree anchored at the edge of the steep bluff stretches out into open air. It would be the perfect roost for hawks or eagles. Gibraltar Rock, Wisconsin State Natural Area in Lodi (Columbia County) on Nov. 27, 2016.
Love how these roots spread to keep this tree anchored from breaking off and floating away. This poor tree sure takes a beating, winter ice beats against it and spring run off tries to wash it away, but it hangs on.
Madeira Park Harbour is the central marine hub of Pender Harbour, located on BC’s Sunshine Coast—a place where forested hills meet calm, protected waters 🌲⚓. It’s not just a harbour; it’s the heart of the community, serving as the main access point for boaters, fishers, and floatplanes, and anchoring the village of Madeira Park.
️ What Defines Madeira Park Harbour
• Sheltered waters: The harbour is naturally protected, making it ideal for moorage, anchorage, and marine operations
• Public Wharf: Operated by the Harbour Authority of Pender Harbour, the Madeira Park Public Wharf offers 600 feet of visitor moorage, power hookups, pump-out station, showers, and even floatplane access
• Commercial & recreational use: Serves everything from fishing vessels and pleasure craft to marine service boats and heritage displays like the Harbour Spirit and MISSMIC boom tug
Village Connection
• Steps from the wharf, you’ll find Madeira Park’s town centre, with cafés, galleries, a pharmacy, hardware store, and the IGA
• The harbour is a launch point for exploring Princess Louisa Inlet, Sechelt Inlet, and nearby marine parks
🎣 Maritime Heritage
• The area was originally inhabited by the shíshálh (Sechelt) Nation, and later settled by European pioneers like Charles Irvine and “Portuguese Joe” Gonsalves
• The harbour reflects a rich history of fishing, logging, and marine trade, now celebrated through local art, restored vessels, and community events
Whether you're docking for supplies, launching a kayak, or just soaking in the view from the wharf gazebo, Madeira Park Harbour offers a perfect blend of utility, history, and coastal charm.
Thank you for your visit and any faves or comments are always greatly appreciated!

There are many flashy, bright strobing holiday displays all over the Cape. They get bigger and flashier every year. Giant inflatable critters rock back and forth as the cold winter winds blow through Cape Cod towns. However, there's something to be said for the simple. Whether it be a single string of lights above a porch, or a lone tree anchored in the middle of a pond like this one in Sandwich. Sure, you can dazzle folks with your illumination extravaganza but the display that catches this night photographer's eye is what paints the picture of a simple New England holiday. At the end of a cold and windy shoot last week, I started my trip home and spotted this. I knew I had to shoot it so I found another place to park, geared back up, and made the icy walk down to the best spot I could find. I shot there for an hour as the clouds broke and a half moon started peeping though the back end of a retreating snow storm.

Mountain Ash trees are native to Minnesota. The shores of Lake Superior, in front of our condo provided the bright red that our autumn trip needed. There were few maples in color on the shore. Besides providing color, these trees anchor the shoreline and feed the birds and animals! Enjoy. sal

My favourite Arbutus tree anchors this view in BC's Gowlland-Tod Provincial Park. One of my favourite views in one of my "go-to" Provincial Parks.
