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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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).
