The Lone Cypress overlooking Carmel Bay. The tree is believed to have been seeded 1750 in what was then the Spanish colony of New Spain. However, due to the invasive nature of traditional dendrochronology, the precise age of the tree is unknown and can only be inferred.
Over the centuries the tree has been weathered by the wind and salt spray coming off the Pacific Ocean, gradually altering its appearance. The earliest known depictions of the tree's likeness in paintings and photographs date to the 1880s, which shows the tree with a lush dome-shaped canopy.

I felt as if I were in somewhere in the Deep South in the US.

On the left you can see the fog-covered valley between Whistler and Squamish. I'm glad I didn't quit hiking up when I was in it.
Having the familiar mountains of Garibaldi Provincial Park on the left and Tantalus Provincial Park on the right - both poking out above the clouds was a nice bonus. And for the day, mine alone to enjoy. More snow than usual on a super solo morning hike in July. Believe it or not, I was back home shortly after lunch!

This is perhaps my favorite scene on earth. I know that I have posted images of it before, but this is a recent one that I especially like. For this image I experimented with something I learned from my wonderful Flickr friend flashfix. She has commented that she is very wary of putting any glass in front of her lens. Because of my many years of black and white film photography, I have had a strong bias in favor of filters that bring out the blue sky and clouds. For that reason I have done virtually all my outdoor work with my first high-end digital camera, the Leica M-240, using not one but two filters in front of the lens: a UV filter mostly just to protect the lens, and a rotating polarizing filter to bring out the contrasting blue sky and clouds. Taking a cue from flashfix, on this day I shot with no filters in front of the Leica Summicron 50mm lens. I like the result, although I cannot pinpoint the reason why. Note that the little bit of sky showing in the image is somewhat dull but does not detract from the rest of the image.
We saw this Great egret up in a Cypress tree as we launched from Uncertain for a dusk/sundown cruise. I guess this one has a name and a benefactor whose car engine noise the egret recognizes and comes across the bayou to get a meal.
This place has been haunting me for quite some time and I needed to pay another visit yesterday as I wanted to shoot it with my Reality-So-Subtle pinhole camera that produces a 14mm ultrawide perspective. I also brought along my DSLR and telephoto. I 'm not sure how the ultrawide angle from the pinhole would turn out. For sure, it would be dreamy as I had to expose for well over 3 minutes. I think it also works well with a telephoto due to its compressed point of view. Standing right next to my pinhole on tripod, I took this shot when no one was around. Kudos to the built-in GPS from my DSLR, now you know where this place is. If you haven't been there, I 'd suggest you bringing your love one and spending some quiet time there.
Monterey cypress is a coniferous tree, and is one of several species of cypress trees native to California. The seed cones are globose to oblong, 20–40 mm long, with 6–14 scales, green at first, maturing brown about 20–24 months after pollination.
The famous Tuscan cypresses, said to have been brought into Tuscany by the Etruscans and to Italy by the Phoenicians or Greek from Persia or surrounding areas. Still need to double check these facts and find a good source!!!
I do have more photographs of these wonderful trees...
Here's a shot of the most photographed row of cypress trees in Tuscany... along the road to the Agriturismo Poggio Covili.
I had to wait patiently for at least 30 minutes before the sun popped out from behind the dramatic clouds to light up the house at the end of the road. I feel it was definitely worth the wait though... this turned out to be one of my favourite shots from my trip!

Sunrise on Lake Eola in Orlando, Florida. Sections of the lake have Cypress trees standing in the water. I wanted to isolate one of those trees along the shoreline. This tree was the best candidate, it stood away form others, was smaller and had a good open space of low rise buildings behind it to allow it to silhouette against the sky.
