the combination of fall colors with the snow looks specially beautiful...but it's a bit worrisome to see 50% of the trees with leacves on them... the old oak looked striking against this colorful wintery background...it was very cold and clear today...

My selection is to support freedom, among psychedelica freakout trees in h-bomb shapes with fruit-dappled spheres of leaves. But when shall I feel the freedom to rest my ass comfortably upon the top of that lowrise wall!

I can't think why I didn't put this one in my gallery when I took it. This is an old tree in the more remote 'High Park' area of Blenheim Park in Oxfordshire. Blenheim is best known for its sensational landscape gardens, but it also includes an area of ancient woodland that is a relic of the original Wychwood that once spread over Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and Oxfordshire.
Oak trees often have a very long decline at the ends of their lives; this tree hasn't changed much in about 10 years. Whimsically I find it reminiscent of an opera singer! The shapes that one can see in it depend very much on one's stand-point and the light.
As can be seen on this day the light was very clear and I took a number of photos, so many that it was difficult to select one for the gallery. I liked the contrast in this particular image.
Old trees are an important resource in nature as they give shelter and provide a food source for a range of animals. In an unmanaged wood up to 25% of the trees may be dead.

Working target 8 Hawksworth 0-6-0 PT 1506 is releasing a locomotive by removing the stock at London Paddington Station. Most of the 15xx performed this task all their lives but 1506 was a Welsh loco going new in 1949 to Newport
the background is half of a name, Western......we will never know!

the turkey vultures hangout is the deck which overhangs the water and they occasionally feast on the fish accidently dropped by the osprey who sits above this deck on the old oak tree...the evening sunlight has created these strange colors which make the vulture look lighter in color...reflections of my pilings in the background...

Mollestadeika eller Vetteeika er kåret til Norges nest største tre (omkrets, 1,3 m over bakken), etter «Brureika» ved Lothe i Ullensvang. Treet står på gården Vestre Mollestad i Birkenes kommune i Aust-Agder. Det er ca. 1 000 år gammelt og har seks store grener. Største gren har en tykkelse (omkrets) på 2,59 m. Treet er fremdeles i live, selv om det er innhult (diameter på hulrom = 1,3 m), etter angrep av svovelkjuke (Laetiporus sulphureus). (Kilde: Wikipedia)

it's an uncropped zoomed in shot ... the osprey is clutching the fish and at the same time is keeping an eye on the vulture who looks like a threat...
