Lone tree
Kamloops Lake
This tree would actually make a very poor gallows tree as the dead wood likely would snap under the weight. It does have a nice macabre feel though. I liked the look of it and the fence posts rising from the grass.
Happy Fence Friday!
Winter in California is the wet season. This day was no exception. We awoke early, after a cold, rainy night, hoping to catch a sunrise before the forecast rains for the day.
From Black Butte, we drove northeast along the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway until we reached a logging and fire trail up Herd Peak. When we reached the end of the navigable road we stopped, just prior to first light. As sunrise occurred, it was a mixture of intense sunlight, breaking through the holes in the clouds, with gusty winds separating the clouds above from the fog burning off around the base of Mt. Shasta, which created a haze permeating the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. An hour later, the mountain was completely shrouded in thick clouds, no longer visible and heavy rain fell throughout the day.
For a few brief moments, the sun light the clouds above Shasta on fire, creating colors befitting a volcano of this mountain's stature. Sometimes you just have to be thankful for the moments you get and move on to the next opportunity.

New Year's Eve at 10:30 in the morning, the sun is very low on the horizon at this time of year, bur well-positioned to be able to get a starburst effect with the tree. I've photographed this old tree in the cemetery at Ashaig, Isle of Skye, on a number of occasions - there are now considerably fewer branches left on it after the big blows of Storm Floris and Storm Amy last year.
The trail zig zags down the steep slope to the bridge over Oneonta Creek in the middle of this image. The forest is showing signs of recovery after the Eagle Creek Fire started by a 15 year old playing with smoke bombs on 9/2/2017. The fire burned almost 49 thousand acres of forest in the Columbia River Gorge area. The fire burned extremely hot due to drought and years of fire suppression and thus even trees which often can survive fire burned to death. $36.6 million in restitution was ordered along with almost 2,000 hours of community service. The boy has been complying with the terms of his sentence but will doubtless never pay off the restitution. Meanwhile the forest is starting to regenerate. The yellow leaves are from sprouts from the roots of dead maple and oak trees. Here and there are a few evergreen survivors. Some day this will be a forest again.
What it s really , one deceased tree and one that has gone to meet it's maker - seen in Bushy Park . There are a number of trees fallen and left standing like these two in the Park , I suppose this is a deliberate action as the old trees would be used by nature for insects and birds nesting and shelter and whatever other use they can be used for . This shot was taken very close to where my previous capture of the resting deer and recently posted .
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.
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..."

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.
