- Detail eines der über 2000 Bergahorne im Großen Ahornboden, einem Naturdenkmal im Herzen des Karwendelgebirges - die Bäume sind mehr als 400 Jahre alt. Leider hat es geregnet, am besten man kommt bei Herbstsonne hierher -
- detail of one of more than 2000 maple trees in the Große Ahornboden, a monument of nature in the heart of the Karwendel mountains - the trees are more than 400 years old. Unfortunately it was raining, the best moment for a visit is the Indian summer -
I had seen this idea floating around virtual space, so I thought it was my turn to try it. Punch a snowflake shaped hole on a piece of black cardboard and slip it in front of the lens. It then turned some bright reflections from a maple tree into snowflakes.
Added a texture from buddy Shaefer, moved some sliders to desaturate, unclarify, levels adjustments and who knows what else.
Now Santa is ready to go out and play in the snow.
Happy Sliders Sunday everyone!
Thanks to my boss, Sue, my day off request was approved and I got to enjoy this glorious day in the woods
Maple tree seeds make the best 'helicopters' in the Fall. Just wait once they've dried a bit, pick up a hand full, and toss them in the air. A cheap thrill brought to you by good ole Mother Nature.
This Yellow tree with the black trunk really caught my eye

In May, I had a short holiday in the Alpine Region of Victoria, staying in the picturesque little town of Wandiligong. One of the many pleasures I received from staying there was dinner on two nights at the Wandi Pub where fresh and delicious food that would not look or taste out of place in a Melbourne haute cuisine restaurant was served without fuss by the lovely staff of the venue. The Wandi Pub is just down the road from here, around the bend and on the crest of the knoll.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
ODC- I Love To Watch
This Broad leaf Maple is now in Bud...yay Spring is near!
It's always fun to watch for the Maple Sap start running and this is the time of year for it. This Sapcicle was hanging from one of the tree branches and I loved how it turned orange like the morning sky. According to one man who manufactures maple syrup in Syracuse, NY (just north of me) Climate Change or Global Warming is making the sap run much earlier than it ever has before. He says down the road with the warm weather showing up sooner they may see it running in December...that's very early!

Fall is my favorite time of the year. This photo is from last year's visit to Gibbs Gardens in Ball Ground, GA. Truly a beautiful place!
Today is Canadian Thanksgiving Day.

The Big Leaf Maple is in flower and the pollen is in the air. Also known as the Oregon Maple, Acer macrophyllum is native to the US Northwest coast and inland to the Cascades Mountains. Image taken just after sunrise.
The First Parish of Lexington was formed in 1692 to serve the families living in the Cambridge Farms now known as Lexington. Lexington was incorporated as a town in 1713. The current church building was the fourth built for the parish. It was completed in 1847 and is integral to image of the Lexington Common. The simple Greek Revival building was designed by native architect Isaac Melvin
did you know there are thousands of little men put to work to release those helicopters onto the ground each spring? that certainly will improve the employment rates.........now all we need is for someone to come clean them up !!

Week 3 shot of this maple, following the progression of its color change. It lost a lot of the reds in favor of oranges since last week. High winds last night blew off a lot of leaves. After I took this shot today, more severe winds blew here, so I'm not sure that there will be many leaves for me to look at next week. This might be the last call.
It wasn't really taken at f/0. It's an old 75-150 f/4 manual focus lens with no electronic connection to the camera so I have to set the focal length in the camera and use either manual exposure or aperture priority. I don't remember what the actual aperture was.
下から見上げるように撮る時、気持ち腹が苦しいのは体型がおっさん化してきたからでしょうか・・・。

Bright, a town in north-east Victoria, is situated in the Ovens Valley and is part of the Alpine Region of Victoria. 210 kilometres from Melbourne, Bright was one of the towns in the Ovens Valley where gold was discovered. Gold was found near the junction of Morses Creek and the Ovens River in the 1850s. Established in 1862 and named Bright, most likely after John Bright (1811 - 1889) an English publicist, reformer and parliamentarian the township thrived. With the Gold Rush in full swing, Bright soon had Catholic, Wesleyan and Presbyterian churches, schools, three hotels, three quartz mills and two bank branches. As the yield of gold declined in the 1870s, so too did Bright’s population, yet by the 1880s, it became an alpine tourism town. The Bright Alpine club was formed in 1887 and a community library was started there in 1889. In the following year Bright was connected by railway to Myrtleford and Wangaratta, bringing with it much needed tourists from Melbourne. In 1910 a grand chalet was opened at Mount Buffalo and Bright ran a hire car service for visitors, who often stayed there overnight at a hotel or guesthouse. In 1919 a secondary school was opened in Bright. It also had a tourist progress association and local angling, bowling, racing, tennis and golf clubs amongst its many attractions. By the mid 1920s the people of Bright began planting exotic trees partly for landscape improvement and partly to lay the summer dust. The street tree plantings produced extraordinary autumn colours. By 1933, Bright was described as the “Tourism Capital of the Ovens Valley”. Bright’s train line continued until 1983 when it was finally discontinued and replaced with coaches. By that time, it was a well established tourism town with people flocking there all throughout the year for different reasons. Bright is a base for exploring the peaks of Mount Buffalo National Park and Alpine National Park as well as Mount Hotham, a popular ski resort. Bright is a starting point for the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail, a hiking and cycling path. Bright Museum, in the town’s former train station, documents rail and gold rush history. The region is also known for wineries and of course its amazing display of autumnal foliage.
