The Dead Tree
Kordan, Danson, Wallace, Dros and Dom Haughton (to name but a few) have all been here before to pave the path for many others to follow. Each in his own style, composition and artistic vision, all have taken beautiful and inspiring images. The dead tree is situated just off the trail leading towards Pico Ruivo, Madeira, in a section strewn with dead shrubs and trees that shine like silver jewels under the sun. I was so proud and lucky to get there, certainly under great conditions

We got up before dawn on our last day at Moab, to go back to Arches. The weather did not look too good as we ate a great breakfast at the Moab Diner (Highly Recommended). It started to lighten up though and we went into the park in the poor visibility of the low hanging cloud. When we got into the Windows area of the park, we were greeted by an other-worldly and astonishingly beautiful scene. I will post a few photos and hope I can convey some of he magic. Margaret and I will never forget this morning.
Weir Lake, on the eastern slope of Table Mountain in the Eastern Sierra range of California is really a small pool along the South Fork of Bishop Creek flowing from South Lake.
At roughly 9500' of elevation, this location is often snow covered by mid-Autumn, though at this time, there was little snow, and plenty of cover. It was nice to experience some colors of fall, having grown up on the East Coast where Autumn is much more vibrant and varied in its hues.
Congrats on Explore!

This Nature trail area (photo taken in Dec.2024) of Lake St. Clair Metropark once was fairly densely forested, adjacent to a wetland. All of the trees in this picture may end up in the canal with their neighbors that already left the stand. All of the trees with white trunks in the background are devoid of bark and are certainly dead.
Three years ago, a park ranger told me that they are Sycamore trees that shed their bark. (They are certainly not Sycamore trees, or any other tree that sheds bark. Most are maples, oak and poplars.). Another explanation for the die-off was that heavy rainfall of previous seasons flooded the forests and that the trees did not survive.
It looks like a piercing stare, but it was really just a glance in my direction from about 100 feet away.

Two whistling kites, perched high on an old dead river redgum tree on the Murray River near Mannum, South Australia.
An Osprey lights up the top of Old Friend to point the way into Horsepen Bayou in early morning fog.
It's a little hard to survive in Death Valley. These trees lost the battle
on the edge of Mesquite Dunes.
This small dead tree was a perfect staging spot for several species of birds feeding their recently fledged young. Among them were these Cedar Waxwings.

When hiking up this hillside I came across this old dead tree. It is somehow simultaneously in keeping with the aesthetic of the landscape, and yet contrasts so much as something dead in a landscape that is so very alive.
I took this photograph with a very shallow depth of field to attempt to draw the eye to the tree as it's subject, while also contrasting the smooth soft focus with the sharp twigs and branches on the tree.
……… No problem - good to see some trees being left for nature to ‘tidy up’ as part of the ecosystem allowing the myriad fauna & flora to thrive - well done N/T. Taken at Attingham Park (N/Trust) a few days ago. Alan:-)…….

La noirceur des acacias morts est dû au fait qu'ils ont été brûlés par le soleil
The blackness of dead acacias is due to the fact that they have been scorched by the sun

A view of the MT Timpanogos mountain range beyond Utah Lake from 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. I was told that quads had problems at times... and I think that side-by-side and quad drivers were surprised to see a truck up there.

A painterly version of a photo posted earlier, this digitally enhanced image done for Sliders Sunday shows a Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) just after he had found a treat in a dead tree stump. While the original image showed a winter scene, I decided to warm things up just a bit with the background in this one. :-)
The original image is in the first comment.
HSS!
I've been looking at this dead Oak tree at Croome Park for a while, convinced there was a photo in it. On a misty evening with some decent colour in the sky and the Malvern Hills in the distance, this opportunity presented itself. Hope you like it.
Keith - there was a barn behind me and to the left, but I preferred this colourful stump and mushroom in a field of ferns with thin rays of light breaking through the other trees. And yes, there were blackflies.
"Sunrise among the Bluebells." Poland Ohio. In mid to late April, this old growth forest becomes completely carpeted with Virginia Bluebells for a few weeks. They start just a few feet from the small parking lot right in town. I spent most of the day exploring this peaceful place.
