Famous Cypress Tree Tunnel of Point Reyes, California
Most people took photos of the Cypress Tree Tunnel, but I found that a view from the outer side was as majestic as well.
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
I have been wanting to shoot at this place and finally did it last Saturday. Just standing there looking toward the end of the tunnel is quite an experience. This spot where I took the shot is about half way through the tunnel.
This is one of my favorite Cypress Tree shots. I love how so many flowers are growing around this tree’s trunk ,distant from the shore or any close neighbors. It’s interesting how four of us shot this lake for the same amount of time, saw the same trees and flowers and all had a significantly distinct vision and interpretation on how to communicate the beauty of the place in our work. I think everyone would see the beauty but making a good image out of the chaos of color and form is a challenge. Keep in mind, I’m only showing you ones I like, not the hundreds more that hit the trash heap. Unlike film, like one of my friends shoots (big expensive film up to 8 x 10), digital allows us to take as many as we like, which costs only time and not money. In my retired case, “Time is not money”. (Bald Cypress - Taxodium distichum) (Sony a1ii, 24-105 lens @ 68mm, f/6.3, 1/80 second, ISO 1600)
This primeval scene is beside the Natchez Trace Parkway at mile 122, east of Canton, Mississippi. The National Park Service has provided a nice boardwalk to help the visitor experience this silent and gloomy place. In the lower right a few cypress knees can be seen protruding upward out of the water.
A cypress knee is a distinctive structure forming above the roots of a cypress tree of any of various species of the subfamily Taxodioideae. Their function is unknown, but they are generally seen on trees growing in swamps. Some current hypotheses state that they might help to aerate the tree's roots, create a barrier to catch sediment and reduce erosion, assist in anchoring the tree in the soft and muddy soil, or any combination thereof.

Many years ago, the Pearl River flowed here but then changed course. A shallow area was created by the deposition of sediments as the river retreated. During periodic low water, seedlings of water-tolerant cypress and tupelo trees gained a foothold. The trees you see today are a result. Water tupelo and bald cypress trees can live in deep water for long periods. After taking root in the summer when the swamp is nearly dry, the seedlings can stay alive in water deep enough to kill other plants. (Source: www.nps.gov/places/cypress-swamp.htm)

The Cypress Tree Tunnel lines the entry road to the long defunct Maritime Receiving Station at Point Reyes National Seashore. The trees were planted around 1930 and now form one of the most distinctive land features at the preserve.
The tree tunnel is a destination for photogs both amateur and professional. I've been visiting Point Reyes off and on for many years and surprisingly this is the first time I've photographed the tunnel. This is the view looking away from the old Receiving Station. Buffdawgus says check it out if you're in the area.

I had to go to Walgreens Pharmacy a few weeks ago (exciting!), so I did my evening walk at the nearby Southeast Park in Amarillo, TX. Not really a Mecca for photographers, so I didn't bring along my "serious" gear. I do always keep my "point-and-shoot" compact zoom camera in my car just in case, and I wound up doing a handheld long-ish exposure (like a crazy person) with this wintry cypress tree in the lake. I'd call it a victory for my little point-and-shoot...and I'd say I can hold pretty steady! I could be a tripod, I suppose, hahaha.

The Lone Cypress is a Monterey cypress tree located in Pebble Beach, California. Standing atop a granite headland overlooking Carmel Bay, the tree has become a Western icon and has been called one of the most photographed trees in North America.
I had visited this icon place with my visiting friends many times, and, and this is my first time seriously made the photography on this icon place, so I tried for some difference.
Hope you like it!
looked a bit like standing stones on a prehistoric site like Stonehenge, but we‘re on the middle of a roundabout here, with a ring of cypress on it.

National registry of historic places. 440 mile historic forest trail in USA. Abandoned river now alive with bald cypress and water tupelo trees. Filled with beautiful walking trails.
According to a Persian legend, it was the first tree to grow in Paradise. Because of the evergreen leaves, wood was considered incorruptible and became the plant image of immortality.

These native Monterey cypress trees with their dense canopy block out most of sun on a gray winter afternoon along the edge of Point Lobos State Reserve. Their twisted and contorted branches reflect the harsh exposure to constant ocean spray and powerful winds from the Pacific Ocean (just a few yards from this grove).

A beautiful old cypress tree growing on a grassy knoll along the coast in Monterey, CA. I don't know why, but the scene just makes me feel joy. Joy in the morning.
