Dead tree in cloudy Laurisilva forest / Lorbeerwald
Fanal Forest, Madeira, Portugal
More information about this magic place along with the picture in first comment.
Approaching Sylvan Pass from Yellowstone National Park's east entrance, I encountered this snag forest in the Absaroka Range.
Snag forests are actually quite beneficial to the ecosystem, providing nutrient rich resources to the various fora and fauna inhabiting the area. This forest is a result of lightning caused wildfires in 2007.
The Salt Marshes by Porlock form a relatively new ecosytem. They were formed when the ridge in the pebble beach was breached (behind the tree) during a storm in 1996. Since then new species of flora and fauna have arrived, oftern at the cost of the previous residents. The saline incursion killed all of the trees.
In many ways ( colours, terrain, plants, etc.) these marshes are different from any other ecosystem in the National Park.
I particularly like the layered effect of the image provided by the different plants, then then pebble ridge, the sea and the sky.

Thanks for every view, comment, fave, and encouragement.
While everyone else is enjoying their sundowner drinks at the end of the day on safari, I chose to watch the sun slowly set over the wild untamed land of Africa.
When I first started to go on safari, the game drives were just game drives. No coffee and treats in the morning and no sunset cocktails. I prefer my game drives like that, but when forced to share a vehicle with others one has to accommodate everyone. A sunset is the only treat I need.
The trunk of a fallen tree lodged in the rocks at the top of Abrams Falls adds a bit of character to this forest glen.
The pool below the falls is a tranquil place along a hiking trail. The falls are loud, but consistently so, creating a sort of white noise that adds to the serenity. This tree, suspended as it is, adds a bit of tension to the scene. When will it fall? How long has it been here? Will a bear, raccoon, or some other animal end up making it an impromptu diving board?
Medicine Lake, Alberta
"Medicine Lake is a geologic anomaly in the sense that it is not actually a lake but rather an area in which the Maligne River (flowing from Maligne Lake into the Athabasca River) backs up and suddenly disappears underground as a losing stream."

Some locals called this "Death Island", but the island is very alive with Double Crested Cormorants (see closeup in first comment below). This breeding colony has "painted" the trees and soil with a thick layer of guano, and the squawking cormorants were quite defensive of their little island.
Moon + Snow +dead tree 2 the grand Canyon =WOW
Just Lucky to have made the drive up north to capture this winter wonderland.
This is a dress I designed and made recently out of some quilting fabric. It also has matching cushions. I will be doing a shoot using it.
I have created a new facebook page here for behind the scenes and other stuff. You can become my fan if you like.

...'Cause I don't want the world to turn without you And I don't want the sun to burn without you...
These two remains of a dead tree resemble the existence of a creature in the lake, just about to emerge.

This is a beautiful view of storm clouds over distant mountains at Utah Lake. It was taken while standing on a remote wilderness mountain ridge (elevation 7,318). The trail leading up to this spot was one of the most challenging that I have driven. In fact, I was told that quads had sometimes had to turn back... and I think that side-by-side and quad drivers were surprised to see a truck up there. Some of the trail was extremely steep… and rocks beat up the tire walls. But it was worth it because the landscape was surreal with dead trees lying all over the place.

We had our Grad banquet at the high school on Thursday evening and the sky was full of gorgeous clouds as i drove home so i took a few detours to see the beauty and see what i could find.... love my Sigma 18-200 lens because it has image stabilization so I can do a lot of stuff without a tripod which makes it much easier to be spontaneous. On explore @302 June 7/09
Somewhere along a road from Ross, central Tasmania. I took a detour on my way home from a work trip.
Not much in the way of cloud about on that morning, but a great subject to photograph.

another foogy Friday fence
HFF, and a cheerful weekend.
I don't think foogy is a word, but it sounds good, a bit like how I feel. I meant foggy.

I made this image over the weekend at Winton Wetlands.
This swamp was flooded in 1971 to create Lake Mokoan. It created a very large water storage that irrigated thousands of hectares of agriculture. At the same time the new reservoir inundated around 7,000 Ha of agricultural land, ancient forests and beautiful and unique wetlands. The flooding killed around 150,000 river red gums.
The stags still stand and create a haunting landscape, especially as the sun goes down. I chose to focus on this lone tree, standing out in front of the dense stand of trees behind.
I see strength in this tree and it makes me feel oddly emotional.
Even though most of these trees are dead, they still provide crucial habitat for so many bird species. The wetland hasn't had any water for several years now.
Taken at the Rookery outside of Ottawa. Fascinating place to see these amazing birds building their nests so high in the sky!

The dancing shapes of the dead trees reflect in the lake water along with the colorful fall forest on the far shore.
