A dead Eucalypt of uncertain species, near Blackwood Creek in Northern Tasmania.
Leica Q2 Monochrom, Summilux 28mm f/1.7 lens, 1/30th sec at f/11, ISO 200. Tiffen No. 29 red filter.
The roots of a big tree stump that was in the middle of the Trent Canal. This stump was used for sometime by the local Northern Map Turtles,but a storm moved it down the canal along the shoreline ,it was hauled out by crane and brought back for the turtles in the area, but again it loved down stream after another storm. Finally, the Park;s Canada lady had it put in this spot near the Swing Bridge. She calls it her trophy.

I was driving back after a work travel on an old trunk road when I noticed a small walkway exit leading to a small river. The photographer in me excitedly whispered on my ears, “emm, I must explore this place!!” while the composed me said “the path is too small & I don’t think my car can pass this. Don’t know what else is ‘waiting’ for me there!!”.
Well you guessed it right, the photographer in me won & I decided to drive in despite the terrible condition of the walkway.
It was around 12 pm & it was blaring hot.. No one was around (obviously, don’t think there are many mad ppl like me around!! ) & I could have heard a pin’s drop there!! It was so quiet & calm!! I loved the place immediately…beautiful unpolluted small river running freely… beautiful wild plants waving & playing with the wind joyfully!!!
Then, I turned to my right & stopped ‘dead’! I saw an eerily strange tree.. a pair actually, but looks like one!! It’s a dead one but look uniquely alive…immediately I had goosebumps….( It was scary!!!! No one was around!!! Hello??)
Not even one dry leaf were left & what actually took me by awe is the branches (I think so it’s the branches!! Cant be anything else..) They were terribly entwined & messed up you can’t make the head or tail out of it!!
As I was standing there flabbergasted & intently studying the branches, my gaze fell on another tree opposite it…this one was much alive & healthy & in fact, beautiful!! Then my eyes caught something beneath the tree & my heart ‘stopped’ for a split second!! My mind registered that ‘something’ as a small figure standing beneath the tree… a child dressed in a long white greyish dress!!!! Goosebumps were gone & I went blank….I turned to the other side & stood there in panic not knowing what to think or do! I forced a turn on my head to give it a second look..I had too right?
& phewww!!! its now looking more like stone or a big stick or even a tombstone. My eyes & wild imagination just played its trick on me & ‘jacked’ me!! Argghhh…
Cooling down again.. I said to myself, ‘This make better sense’!!!
I then quickly clicked as much as possible of the ‘messed up unique’ tree & the place before hurriedly walking back to my car…
You guessed it right again, I did not go near the other spooky tree to have a closer look at the ‘whatever thing’ that scarred the hell out of me a moment ago…
Perhaps a larger view of the picture will let me know…I still haven’t.. Any helpers? Hehe!!
P/s: Pardon me for the long story, just wanted to share this silly ‘supernatural’ encounter of mine with you folks!!
& yeah, just make sure that nothing pops out from this picture in your pc, while you are intently looking at these ‘messed up’ trees trying to figure out which branch is which tree’s!! hehehe…
"Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it."

You can't really tell from the perspective of this image, but this tall dead tree is a landmark on the cliff above Northrup Canyon. We hiked up the Wagon Road trail on the south wall of the canyon and headed west to this tree. It stands directly above the parking lot where we left our vehicle.
We decided that rather than backtracking the way we came, we would find our own way down via the steep embankment to the left. It took awhile, but we made it down unscathed.
That's Banks Lake and Steamboat Rock in the distance.
Certainly seen better days but as it is a picture in it's own right . Would have been better with a lower viewpoint but then I would have been looking through a hedge . Talking of hedges , his was taken just a short distance from where the hedgers were at work in a previous shot .

Then given a light treatment with Topaz Simplify
I've been chasing a shot like this for almost 9 years now. A shot with fog over a lake with dead trees in the frame. It finally happened yesterday. The conditions I got yesterday morning were just perfect. I couldn't believe my luck as I stood there shooting and taking in one of the best mornings I've witnessed.
Forgive me for sounding excited, that's cause I am :).
Thanks to all of you for your time, comments and favs. Truly appreciated..

I've been going to Porlock for the past 17 years now and I hadn't seen this area before, with a dead woodland on it's fringe. A few more shots from here to come.

Burned trees from a past wildfire form a line along the edge of a cliff overlooking Utah Lake in the distance far below.

Went out for a solo walk near Rhyd Ddu at night near the foot of Snowdon. I didn't have an end goal. I just wanted to explore and see what was around to test my photographic eye.
This was taken during fading light. After walking through some eerie woods I came across these.......perfect!
I grabbed a couple of shots and headed back to the sanctuary of the car. I think the dark mood and conditions have captured some of the atmosphere that was around that place.

For probably 80 years this tree stood proudly growing by the lakeshore, its branches towering 100 feet into the air. It has been somewhat of a landmark at the end of Indiana Avenue. You can see Lake Michigan there in the background.
Many a Bald Eagle has perched in its branches, looking down into the Lake for fish to scoop up and eat.
It has been dead for many years, but it had still stood strong and beautiful. Sadly, as I was walking the lakeshore two weeks ago I saw it had fallen down and given up its ghost.
I know it will slowly recycle and feed the earth with its cellulose fiber, enriching the soil. Still, it made me sad to see it lying there in its last resting place. The cycle of life brings beauty, enrichment, and emotions.

Along the 37 miles of the dirt West Side Road in Death Valley, are numerous dead mesquite trees. Their twisted branches display their struggle to survive. It's possible they died due to pumping of ground water or perhaps their deaths are due to natural processes.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!

Before I used the Deep Dream Generator, I made a composite image with two of my shots.. One, the tree, was from Crater Lake and the Hawk was from a demonstration at the Zoo.. I was very pleased with the outcome.. Hope you enjoy it as well..
Autralian Bluegums are invaders and consume an awful lot of water, hence in Nature Reserves a strip of bark is pealed of at he bottom and they are left to die and fall over eventually (afer many many years).
In meantime in plantations they are grown by the millions, because the mines need the wood. Economy normally wins from nature...
