“There are gigantic trees that have grown tall into the winds and the clouds over the thousands of years of their lives, their tops are rustled and tossed by the mists of the atmosphere!

Just as a sidebar comment: I grew up in Minnesota and know about cold, but 30 degrees and windy is Arizona feels really cold!
I spotted this lonesome tree by my daughter's apartment a few days ago and knew I had to visit it on one of the upcoming sunsets. To my pleasure, I found some interesting brush surrounding the tree on this side of it. I circled the area and ended up finding a dead young fawn that my guess was caught by a coyote. There have been several reports of coyotes even in my neighborhood let alone this wooded area. As the sun was setting I also spotted about 40+ deer running across an adjacent field to the right of this image. The sky just lit up in some spectacular light for me and I got as low as I could to incorporate all of the elements. This would have been a great chance to focus stack but I didn't have my tripod on me.
This tree caught my eye - It's elongated branches seemed to be magically suspended in the air...

We spent some time in Kamloops where the Hoodoo's are of great interest. This is also a place where the sage brush grows looking gnarly, and ancient. At this time of day the contrasting colors are strong with deep greens and momentarily touched with a golden crested mountain. Here nature is dry, hot, and alive as it battles the challenging elements.

Gnarly old oak tree along the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
So today I snuck out with my camera for my 1hr of permitted exercise, I've been stopped by the Police before for not adhering to lockdown rules, only essential exercise etc. so I took a scenic route along an old bridle path and came across this really old, gnarly oak. I love the shapes the branches make against the sky. I couldn't get the whole tree in the shot as the path is heavily tree lined and very narrow but I think the image shows the rugged beauty of this ancient tree. Bit of flare on the image but hey-ho.
See my "About" page on Flickr for the link to support my efforts... just the price of a cup of coffee is appreciated. Thank you. www.flickr.com/people/jax_chile/

Seems an appropriate time to post this.
A wall next to the apartment our son had been renting in Tucson while getting his masters degree.
For Wednesday Walls.
Evidence of a long, hard life, but still it carries on. A scribbly gum (?) in amongst the stone pagodas at Ganguddy (Dunns Swamp).
This part submerged gnarly tree struck me as somewhat serpent like, the way it arches up and down.
The presence of some light mist provided a bit of extra atmosphere for the image, which one might be forgiven for thinking iwas taken in some exotic jungle forest, when it is actually a wood just outside Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire, UK. And anyone who knows anything of the UK will know that Scunthorpe is anything but exotic 😉

I don't really know much about trees or what species this one might be, but it does have character, I think, and with a touch of added texture, so does the bokeh.

I love woodland photography, but it’s not that easy living in Australia. As much as I love the Aussie bush, it’s really difficult to photograph. The colours are dull and often bland. The leaves are small and the branches are erratic shaped twigs. Most of the time, it looks 10 times better in real life than in a photo. I was lucky enough to find this dead tree in the bush last week.
A mid-day shot from our recent trip to Sedona, Arizona. That's Cathedral Rock, one of the area's most photographed formations, straight ahead in the distance.
GNARLY: something extremely heavy or serious. Also used simply as “gnar.” As in “whoa dude, that bone crushing wipe out was totally gnar!” ~ Corky Carrol, Surfing Eloquence #3

A brilliant river surfer I shot in Thun, Switzerland where there is a larger standing wave used by the surfers as the water passes under the old wooden bridge there. Lots of surfing without actually going anywhere-great fun!!
Shredding the gnar, meaning to ride with exceptional speed, ability, or enthusiasm. This surfer is Julian, and he did just that.
Apologies for my absence, been pushed for time recently.
