A cluster of large rocks and a dead tree, sitting atop the Granite Track in Lysterfied - Melbourne Australia.
Bracketed 3 image HDR.
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.
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.
This skeleton tree sits amongst the reeds in the marshy Alde Estuary near Iken.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
I captured this photo minutes before the sun set. The shadows were moving rapidly along the ground toward this old tree. The rest of the field was cast in shadows from the tree-line behind me, with the exception of this tree. It was special to watch and I'm glad I had my camera with me.
This Neem tree (Botanical name Azadirachta indica) died many years ago but still standing high.
They tried to burn it down but it didn’t catch fire 🤔! So, they decided to leave it. (There’s an old myth going around here, that some of the trees by the river are night homes for demons).
A tree that had been burned but kept standing for several years has finally toppled.
Considering the angle, against the prevailing wind, it must be through vandalism rather than the forces of nature.
I will not be able to complete my project of recording this tree for each month of the year.
I like the almost desert feel that this photo has. It is loated in the Drumheller valley in the Alberta Badlands in Canada. If you have never been to the Badlands I would highly recommend it.
Viewed from a distance, Lower Tahquamenon Falls seem very serene. Viewing closely reveals the power of the rushing water.
Tannins from decaying roots and leaves colors the water, just like the color of your afternoon tea : )
The lake at Arcot Hall has several dead trees protruding from the water which are difficult to shoot due to the overhanging branches of the living trees on the shoreline. Careful positioning on a windy afternoon and a minute and half long exposure later I had an abstract reflection of the dead trees.
Here’s one more Vertorama from Saturday morning’s sunrise shoot at the Theewaterskoof Dam near Villiersdorp.
Nikon D3100, Sigma 10-20mm at 12mm, aperture of f14, with a 1/30th second exposure.
