This is part of a 400+ year old tree on St. Kitts. It'c covered with other plants. Bromeliads? Not sure.

The hall of plane trees (“Platanensaal”) of Herrenchiemsee is located in front of the old castle. The oldest plane trees here are already 150 years old. They grow in the shape of a canopy and therefore have to be pruned every winter. Regular pruning is intended to help prevent them from breaking apart at some point. The gardeners cut back the annual shoots. This creates the whimsical crown shape and in summer the trees provide loose shade.
Der „Platanensaal“ von Herrenchiemsee liegt vor dem alten Schloss. Die ältesten Platanen, die hier stehen, sind bereits 150 Jahre alt. Sie sind in dachförmig gezogen und müssen daher jedes Jahr im Winter geschnitten werden. Der regelmäßige Schnitt soll helfen, dass sie nicht irgendwann auseinanderbrechen. Die Gärtner schneiden dabei die jährlichen Austriebe zurück. So entsteht die skurrile Kronenform und im Sommer sorgen die Bäume für einen lockeren Schatten.

Olivo centenario muy bien cuidado
Los olivos que cautivaron al famoso poeta español Antonio Machado proceden de una variedad que se cultivaba en Palestina hace 6.000 años. Esta especie se extendió hacia Occidente por todo el Mediterráneo gracias a los fenicios, los etruscos, los griegos y los romanos. Se cree que comenzaron a cultivarse en la Península Ibérica hace unos 4.000 años.
The olive trees that captivated the famous Spanish poet Antonio Machado come from a variety that was cultivated in Palestine 6,000 years ago. This species spread West throughout the Mediterranean thanks to the Phoenicians, the Etruscans, the Greeks and the Romans. It is believed that they started to be cultivated in the Iberian Peninsula some 4,000 years ago.

No Parque das Termas de Vizela, destaca-se a sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), uma espécie oriunda da Sierra Nevada, na Califórnia, que foi introduzida em Portugal no século XIX, num período marcado pela valorização de espécies botânicas exóticas. Estas árvores podem ultrapassar os 80 metros de altura e viver mais de três mil anos, sendo apreciadas pela sua robustez e longevidade. A sequoia contrasta com a vegetação ribeirinha do parque, enquanto contribui para a diversidade botânica local e proporciona sombra e interesse paisagístico junto ao lago. Além desta, a sequoia-vermelha (Sequoia sempervirens), também presente no espaço, é igualmente valorizada por seu rápido crescimento e longevidade, refletindo o intercâmbio botânico entre continentes e o apelo estético que as árvores monumentais trazem aos jardins históricos do norte de Portugal.
In the Vizela Thermal Park, the sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) stands out, a species originating from the Sierra Nevada, California, which was introduced in Portugal in the 19th century, in a period marked by the appreciation of exotic botanical species. These trees can exceed 80 meters in height and live more than three thousand years, being appreciated for their robustness and longevity. The sequoia contrasts with the park's riparian vegetation, while contributing to the local botanical diversity and providing shade and landscape interest along the lake. In addition to this, the redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), also present in the space, is equally valued for its rapid growth and longevity, reflecting the botanical exchange between continents and the aesthetic appeal that monumental trees bring to the historic gardens of northern Portugal.

A surprise meeting with the forest inside the National Botanical Garden, Bangladesh was really inspiring. In a rainy day, it was fun to walk through vast green land. And like a wise old man, this tree was guiding us how to bring out the best of the nature.
Though I lost my phone due to my misfortune, my friend Anik Rahman Topu was there to save the day and helped me with his phone to capture this shot. I'm ever greatful to him. Thus, photography can truly strengthen the relation of friendship.
I originally shot this 10 image stitched panorama (actually 20 images because each frame was shot at two different exposures to try to balance the highlights) as a colour image. You can see it in my recent video - youtu.be/9vR4W1cGxKo
I couldn't resist trying out one of my B&W "pencil sketch' style edits and this is the result
A beautiful Ficus of the Mazones in Almoradi Spain. This lovely tree is more than a century old and displays beautiful twists and shapes when you get right underneath the dome shaped canopy.
"You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?"
"¿Hablas conmigo? ¿Me lo dices a mí? Dime, ¿Es a mí? Entonces, ¿A quién demonios le hablas si no es a mí? Aquí no hay nadie más que yo. ¿Con quién puñeta crees que estás hablando?"
An old tree close to the Havel by Berlin startet to glow in orange when the last sunbeams of the day grazed it.
As always feel free to comment and to get in touch with me. :)
Another photo I took in Shobrooke park just before the sun set. That's the same tree I photographed from a different angle and uploaded before. Would have been nice to have a few clouds in the sky but it is what it is.
Aller, il ne me reste que 4 photos a uploader avant de faire un choix si je passe en compte pro (hm hm) ou .. pas !
"The Old Tree of Quiraing" (Scotland - Isle of Skye)
Une belle lumière ce matin là sur le Quiraing ... J'assume totalement le fait d'avoir centré ce vieil arbre ... oui je sais, les règles photographiques aurait voulu que je le place sur un point fort .... on s'en fou, les règles sont faites pour être détournées !
Vous trouverez quelques images supplémentaires sur mon FB, et bientôt (si un jour j'y arrive lol) sur mon site web !

The surgery went well, and it sure is good to be home, and looking at my favorite neighborhood tree, again!!
Happy New Year everyone!
We encountered this old overgrown stonewall in Fernworthy forest on our Boxing Day walk.
Little Owl / athene noctua. Lincolnshire. 24/06/16.
This is the female Little Owl with a very colourful prey item in her beak for her youngsters, - a Small Elephant Hawk-moth no less!!!
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
During almost three hours observation in the barn, I only saw her on this occasion. I imagine that she was tucked away with the young for much of the time, letting her mate do the bulk of the hunting.
How obliging of her then, to enter with this beautiful moth which enhanced my image making efforts. She was a star turn alright :-)
