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
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.
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.

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 processingđ

I must have the naughtiest puppy in the world. She hardly ever sleeps, always on the hunt for mischief, If anything is not perched over 3 foot from the ground she is away with it. Iâve just come upstairs to chill after chasing her around the garden with a mouthful of my underpants Carla had just washed and was hanging them out to dry. I know it was futile chasing her as I canât catch her, itâs just a big game to her, but in my defence I know if she has time to stop she tear a nice hole in those underpants. Todays photo was taken two years mid May in a local location which is good for wild garlic. Two nice big beech trees anchor the scene as a path passes through. As in every wood close to urban areaâs it has the obligatory nylon rope swing hanging from any suitable branch, probably why I donât achieve any emphathy for my images in such woodland but I canât knock the local kids blowing off steam exploring the woods, much healthier pastime.

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.

Anchored along the banks of two rivers and overlooking a breathtaking gorge, lies the charming village of Elora.
Youâll find us there.
Our century old building and tin ceilings are the framework for our renovated shop, that showcase our contemporary and vintage collections, in such a way that it becomes difficult to detect new from old.
Together, they are timeless.

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.
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 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"

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 dramatic panorama of storm clouds over San Diego, rendered in black and white for bold tonal contrast. The dark silhouettes of trees anchor the horizon while radiant shafts of light break through the skythrough.
The Galleria at this time of year can be found at the intersection of Commerce and Christmas. The epic sized Christmas tree anchors the malls ice rink adorned by passers by. I will say it does produce a festive feel. This was a shot I have had in my head for a few years, I finally got off my couch to get it.
The Galleria Dallas, an upscale shopping mall and mixed-use development located in north Dallas, Texas (USA), was developed by long time owner Hines Interests in 1982. The mall is modeled after a similar Hines development, the Houston Galleria, which opened in 1970. Both Galleria malls have an ice skating rink and a glass vaulted ceiling that is modeled after the historic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, Italy. - Wiki
A lovely corner in Berkeley. I"m very fond of the small grove of redwood trees, anchoring this green island. . . đ

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.
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.
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 â 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.
Thereâs 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 â 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. Itâs 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. Itâs 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 âcloudsâ 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.
