I went out in hopes of shooting a sunrise this morning. That didn't materialize so I played with some longer exposures. Best viewed on black.

Thanks for your views, faves, invites and comments ....
Old age doesn't come by itself unfortunately. These old trees are dead but their skeletons remain not far from Mount Main in the border hills near Heriot.
I captured this image using a monochrome setting with LiveView on my Nikon SLR camera. I liked the idea of this as a tool to focus on tonal contrasts and shapes while composing images. The article I got this idea for this was here (digital-photography-school.com/how-to-use-monochrome-prev...). As I'd followed the writer's idea in capturing these with RAW images, it was then easy to update the settings in Capture NX2 to a landscape one and work in color for the final image.
Artist: Pamela Rosenkranz
From the Highline website:
For the third High Line Plinth commission, Rosenkranz presents Old Tree, a bright red-and-pink sculpture that animates myriad historical archetypes wherein the tree of life connects heaven and earth. The tree’s sanguine color resembles the branching systems of human organs, blood vessels, and tissue, inviting viewers to consider the indivisible connection between human and plant life. Old Tree evokes metaphors for the ancient wisdom of human evolution as well as a future in which the synthetic has become nature. On the High Line—a contemporary urban park built on a relic of industry—Old Tree raises questions about what is truly “artificial” or “natural” in our world. Made of man-made materials and standing at a height of 25 feet atop the Plinth, it provides a social space, creating shade while casting an ever-changing, luminous aura amid New York’s changing seasons.
I have photographed this tree many times in daylight and always had the idea to shoot it in front of the Milky Way at night. After all, the weather conditions were good enough to put the long-planned idea into practice. I lit the tree with a YN 300 LED light and blended that shot into an exposure of the starry sky. The stars didn't come out as sharp as I had hoped, but shooting the Milky Way is a difficult thing. Of course, I didn't bring the perfect equipment with me. I didn't want to carry the heavy D800 up the mountain so I tried the best with the Fuji X-T3 and the 16mm F1.4.

This is one of the first picture I have done on my scotland trip. First I was surprised that the nature wasn't so green as in austria. All the grass was brown and lying from the snowy winter. But I found some upright here under the dead tree.

The giant limbs of the Angel Oak tree spread like arteries across its canopy and the ground beneath it.
I photographed the tree during three overcast and rainy days which helped keep the contrast down and bring out some of the details. This is a different point of view which I liked as well.
The Angel Oak Tree is a Southern live oak (Quercus virginiana) located in Angel Oak Park on Johns Island near Charleston, South Carolina. The Angel Oak Tree is estimated to be at least 400 and possibly up to 1400 years old. It stands 66.5 ft (20 m) tall, measures 28 ft (8.5 m) in circumference, and produces shade that covers 17,200 square feet (1,600 m2).
Little Owl / athene noctua. Lincolnshire. 11/07/16.
Another session with the Little Owl family at a private site in Lincolnshire. The young had all fledged successfully and were exploring the immediate environment of the barn complex. The parent birds were highly visible though, flying around - and vocal too. One perched up on telegraph wires and started calling for at least 30 minutes non stop, but the youngsters wouldn't be drawn out
In this image one of the adults is resting on the end of an old hand plough. I think it is looking up at its mate on the roof of the barn.
Berlin - Grunewald
There is another oak tree, dated about 800 to 900 years, so even older then Berlin as a city, which is on my list.
This tree has got a diameter of 2,13 m and an extent of 6,7 m.
Unfortunately, in the 70s a "building sin" was committed right next to the venerable tree, in which a rather ugly building was put down. I tried hard not to depict any of the construction next to the tree, but it was a somewhat impossible undertaking.
Eurasian Nuthatch / sitta europaea. Calke Park, Derbyshire. 30/11/16.
Captured in some gorgeous early winter light, just over eight years ago.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
Winter - beautiful, stark, stoic winter - is the season of "revealment," of graphic exposure, and nowhere is the phenomena more grand than above, in the sky, in skeins of trunk and branch!
