Trees anchor you to the ground while the water of the river transports your mind to a greater sense of calm and tranquility.
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.
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.
Waggoners Wells NT, Hampshire
Sorry, the puns will dry up eventually! Just a nice scene I saw then I was walking along the path and turned around. The S shaped path, varieties of autumn colours and the way the side trees anchor the rest of the shot appealed to me. I'm experimenting with painterly effects when processing😉

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"

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
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
The sun was generous, the breeze just right, and the path curved gently along the bay. Cyclists passed with easy smiles, walkers paused beneath the shade of old trees, and the historic ships stood quietly at dock—silent witnesses to a slower era. It wasn’t a moment of grand adventure, but one of quiet presence.
Later, when the trip was just a story and the suitcase long unpacked, this day lingered. The creak of the tall-masted ship, the scent of salt air, the way the light danced on the water—all of it tucked away like a postcard in the mind. Because sometimes, the most enduring memories are made not in motion, but in pause.
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.

The Tree
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"
poem written by Tom Splitt
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.
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.
Beyond the freshly ploughed fields, the village of Elchingen lies quiet on the Härtsfeld 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 – a countryside still breathing, a horizon that remembers.
Hinter den frisch gepflügten Feldern liegt Elchingen auf dem Härtsfeld bei Neresheim, der Kirchturm ragt wie ein Zeichen von Heimat empor. Die Sonne breitet sich weit und warm über das Land; die Furchen ziehen sich wie Linien in einer Hand, die seit Generationen arbeitet. Links steht eine Baumreihe, ein einzelner kräftiger Baum markiert den Rand des Ackers; daneben ziehen Weg und Straße vorbei am Grün.
Dort, wo die Bäume wachsen, steht das Gras dicht und hoch, eine lebendige Naht aus Farbe. Die Szene wirkt zugleich gegenwärtig und alt – eine Landschaft, die noch atmet, ein Horizont, der sich erinnert.
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!

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 “clouds” 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. " ― 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.

The solitary tree anchors this shot. I'm still looking to take the 'perfect' photo of this place. On this morning high-thin clouds were creating some shading on the lake and mountains to add a little contrast.

The rainforests at Olympic had numerous example of nursery logs, where fallen trees anchored and nurtured newer ones. Nature’s ability of renewal and sustenance was truly amazing.
The Evergreen Cemetery is the final resting place for many notable citizens of Paris and Lamar County. Due to the steady growth of the area, the old cemetery of Paris, located near the center of town, quickly became too small. In 1866, the Evergreen Cemetery Association was chartered by well-known community leaders to purchase land for cemetery purposes. After the initial purchase of sixteen acres from George Wright, additional tracts were acquired in 1893, 1907, 1956 and 1957.
The first burial is attributed to Lucy Pope Maxey (1794-1866), the mother of Samuel Bell Maxey, a West Point graduate, Confederate General and United States Senator. His wife, Marilda C. Maxey (1833-1908) is also buried in Evergreen Cemetery. Most of the cemetery’s eleven incorporators are buried here, including Samuel Bell Maxey (1825-1895), Dr. Alfred Simpson Johnson (1814-1881), Albert J. Redding (1821-1900) and William Bramlette (1851-1908).
Another incorporator buried here is Willet C. Babcock (1828-1881). His “Jesus in Cowboy Boots” monument attracts visitors from across the nation. Examples of the unique stonecutting art within the cemetery include a bevy of angelic figures and religious imagery, flowers, vines, cotton bales, broken trees, anchors and chains, sheep, a life-size buffalo and a replica of the front page of the Paris Morning News. This historic cemetery reflects the growth and rich history of Paris and Lamar County.
