Llyn Dinas is a lake near Beddgelert, Gwynedd in north Wales. It is formed by the River Glaslyn. Llyn Dinas lies on the valley floor a few miles north of Beddgelert at an altitude of about 55 metres above sea level. It has an area of 60 acres and is fairly shallow, with the maximum depth only 10 metres.
This shot has been mistaken for a mountain or a hill... it’s in fact a look up shot at the remains of an old tree...!
One of my favourite groups of trees, which I photograph time and time again.
Eine meiner Lieblingsbaumgruppen, die ich immer wieder fotografiere.
宇陀市，還真的是雨一坨一坨的下ㄚ~XD 還好，老天爺很配合的只在深夜時段進行洩洪，經過一夜滂沱大雨的清晨，雨霧瀰漫在山巒、錯落的櫻花與鄉野之間，反而有一種置身在桃花源的錯覺呢!

……A very familiar walk for us at Attingham Park (N/Trust) but this time through a new route across the estate - the normal path being cut off because of mud apparently! So it was nice to see new parts and new trees - well old trees but new to us!!! Shot on my phone in Apple RAW & edited in Lightroom. Alan:-)…….

As the quietness of evening deepens, a gentle breeze comes carrying the crisp scents of fallen leaves and damp soil. Together with the rustling of leaves, they form a prelude that announces the end of a long day and sets the scene for a dreamy autumn night.

“Their pennies just keep on coming in
The spirits still soaking in their sins
Some say they’re even born again
See what you can find at the end of the line
There’s no end in time at the end of the line
There’s no peace of mind at the end of the line
You can run, you can’t hide at the end of the line
And there’s no peace of mind at the end of the line.”
(Quoted from ‘The End of August’ by Yanni)
A red cross is a way to indicate that a tree is about to be cut down. Trees that are not for timber but are diseased may be marked in the same way. There are too many like this one in the parks I visit!
One tree is in the last stage of life and his comrade has already fallen beside him. New growth sprouts among them fueled by the decomposition continuing the cycle of life. (Zoom in to see the wonderful wood grain in detail.)
……But thankfully plenty of new trees can also be seen here at Attingham park (N/Trust). A lovely walk as always, through the Deer park & around the estate to find this my iPhoneaday 365 shot #035. Shot in Apple RAW & edited in Lightroom. Alan:-)

I have always had a special relationship with trees. whether small or large. I consider some of them as "friends", especially if they serve as a background for my photos. Today one of them hit the road due to the strong wind and bad weather that rages in the city (without causing any harm except to parked cars). This was a very special and impressive friend and I will miss him as a true friend can. I want to remember him like this, who projects his shadow and his scent on all of us.

Two contrasting seasonal photos of the old tree at Moorfoot and the track that leads into the Moorfoot Hills. It was a chilly morning as I started a hike upto Blackhope Scar from Moorfoot (farm).
Carbon River Rainforest, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
My hike to the lake last weekend went through a magnificent (and unusual) old growth rainforest. It is unusual because it is an inland temperate rainforest rather than the typical coastal one. During the warm and dry summer months the Carbon River creates its own fog which allows the rainforest to breathe and sustain itself even without rain. A very unique ecosystem!
The trees in this rainforest, mostly Douglas Fir, Western Hemlock, Sitka Spruce, and Western Red Cedar, are impressive. Some of them are as much as 800 years old and reach incredible heights. My neck started to get sore from spending so much time looking up at them and marveling at their stature!
Since I discovered when I got home that I had almost 100 photos of trees and the forest I selected just a few to post here to try give a sense of this wondrous place.
This old dead tree looks out over Glen Feardar in the Cairngorms awaiting its final chapter. Whether it be a highland gale or a lightning strike it's past caring now.
Temps orageux sur la Plaine de la Bièvre (nord isère) .. Une bonne radée, quelques éclairs au loin et un beau cadeau pour ce bébé chouette 💖
Stormy weather on the Plaine de la Bièvre (nord isère - France) .. A good radée, some lightning in the distance and a nice gift for this owl baby 💖
f/4.5, 1/200, +1 EV, 24mm, ISO-100, Polarizer, 720nm clip-in filter, full-spectrum converted camera, channel swapped, false color infrared image.
I was initially walking down this dirt road to photograph this massive Oak with storm clouds churning overhead but didn't make it very far as it started pouring. I waited for the rain to stop for the most part and got some cool shots as the clouds parted. Typically the leaves and foliage turn a bright white (especially at 720nm) as they reflect the infrared light from the sun (known as the Wood effect). In this case the reflectivity is decreased as the light on the surface is absorbed by the water. In-camera, the photos capture blues in the foliage and a slightly warm-yellowish sky, then I swapped the colors out with the channel mixer in PS. I'm finding that for color IR, I like the muted hues captured at 720nm vs. the hyper color of 590nm. It's called false color but, depending on wavelength of light being captured, various amounts of red, orange and yellow visible light are captured and then mapped to the RGB channels (all IR is actually black and white). This is my favorite tree in the area. I've taken many pictures of it in color, b&w, false color IR, and b&w IR during various seasons and weather conditions.
