Ah, you may sit under them, yes. They cast a good shadow, cold as well-water; but that's the trouble, they tempt you to sleep. And you must never, for any reason, sleep beneath a cypress.' He paused, stroked his moustache, waited for me to ask why, and then went on: 'Why? Why? Because if you did you would be changed when you woke. Yes, the black cypresses, they are dangerous. While you sleep, their roots grow into your brains and steal them, and when you wake up you are mad, head as empty as a whistle.' I asked whether it was only the cypress that could do that or did it apply to other trees. 'No, only the cypress,' said the old man, peering up fiercely at the trees above me as though to see whether they were listening; 'only the cypress is the thief of intelligence. So be warned, little lord, and don't sleep here.

The nearly full morning moon caught my eye through some of the very high cypress tree branches. Hazy sky so not much detail but thought it too pretty to pass up.
First time processing of an old image. Monochrome IR pano from Blue Cypress Lake in April 2017.

It'll do as a sunset too, if you'd like. . .LOL!! I live on the west side of the St. John's River, so if I get up early enough I can see the glorious new daily artwork that God does on it and in the sky. I've intensified this photo (which I took in April-- it's been too hot to got out, and too many bugs), and did some filters on it.
Hope you have some nice relaxation time this weekend!
A single cypress tree against the winter sky on a chilly evening. It seems that sometimes the colder the weather, the more colorful the sky.

Cloudy day after rain at Cypress Cove of Point Lobos State Reserve, which landscape artist Francis McComas called it "the greatest meeting of land and water in the world.".
The Lone Cypress is a Monterey cypress tree in Pebble Beach, California. Standing on a granite hillside off the 17-Mile Drive, the tree is a Western icon, and has been called one of the most photographed trees in North America. It is located between Cypress Point Club and the Pebble Beach Golf Links, two of world's best-known golf courses. Possibly as old as 250 years, the cypress has been scarred by fire and has been held in place with cables for 65 years. The look of the tree changed significantly when it lost its leftmost branch during a storm in 2019. The Monterey cypress grows naturally only in Pebble Beach and Point Lobos.

An old, gnarled monterey cypress grows along the cliffs of Point Lobos State Reserve.
Recently California and the West have been suffering through long hots spells. Fortunately, I live close enough to the coast that I can get over there on the worst days. I knew it was going to be hot so I got up early and drove to Point Lobos just south of Carmel, where I found thick fog and temperatures in the upper 50s. Typically that fog pulls back from the coast pretty quickly on the hot days, but this time it stuck around in to the afternoon. I spent the morning hours photographing here before heading back into the furnace!
This is a fascinating specimen of Monterey cypress, a tree that is native here and only a couple of other locations. At Point Lobos many of them grow along the edges of steep cliffs, and this old tree is hanging onto its perch seeming by a thread.
