Dead trees, standing tall.
Fun with a wide angle lens.
Snow Lake Trail, Mount Rainier National Park.
Dead trees in the vast dry valley of the Tsauchab River. This region is about 35 km from the entrance to Sossusvlei. Due to the dry climate these trees survive a long time. It is a landscape of surreal beauty.
Graffiti artists converge on the abandoned waterpark near New Berry Springs. It's been closed since 2014. Some well-known artists have plied their trade here, but the majority of scrawls were done by people with minimal talent in my opinion!
Something a bit abstract from me for a change. This leaning Skeletal Pine caught my eye and I thought that the image would work well in mono. So I layed on my back on the ground and set my 10-24mm lens at 10mm to get as much in the frame as possible and composed this image. I hope you like it.

Three swans swim like silent spirits beneath the white branches of a flooded forest.
"Spirit in the heart make the blood flow fast
Spirit in the heart make the beauty last
Keep the hope alive when the youth go past...
Spirit in the wood let the hollow cane
Echo in the afterglow
Waiting for the flame to burn again..."

Happy Halloween 2019!
A peregrine fledgling perches high atop a snag, illustrating the importance of dead trees in the environment. Peregrines require lookouts high on hillsides with enough clearance to see around them and outward, but close enough to the hill to remain discreet. They are constantly on the lookout for predators. Snags and dead tree limbs play a critical role their survival. Although not hunting yet, this young fledgling had advanced in its flight and landing skills since my visit the week before. In late June, this falcon preferred the safety of relatively flat cliff surfaces. One week later, it was exploring more precarious perches, like this one and various other dead tree limbs.
Had a go at converting this to mono, a suggestion from Wendy www.flickr.com/photos/lizinitaly/, they look even more dead now! The colour version is in comments...
There were so many twisted dead trees in Kodachrome Basin State Park. The green in this image is from nearby live trees, not the enormous dead tree.
Down below, on the left side of Wilbur, the Oneonta Gorge can be glimpsed. It is a very narrow gorge with a 100 foot waterfall that was an overly popular trek before the 2017 fire. The Gorge is now closed although some people still climb over the barriers. The yellow tuffs are new trees sprouting from the roots of burned maples and oaks. And off in the distance is a stand of evergreen survivors of the fire. The Columbia River is also visible.
Deadvlei is a wonderful place to explore composition to express depth. The dunes that surround the site allow the sun to bathe parts of the site with light while other parts remain in shade and provide slivers of light to show even more depth. What a great learning experience. 20220620DeadVleiTest27
