Sometimes I ask myself what my pictures will mean to me in 10 or 20 years from now... This one has survived 15y and it means a lot! My family roots are in this hidden northern spot at Peneda-Gerês national park. And this house it's still there, waiting... Quality is not the best: I tried to recover the original slide developing with Lightroom after scanning.
Persistent roots of a cedar (I believe) tree growing beside the Gooseberry River in Gooseberry Falls State Park.
The park is located in Castle Danger, north of Two Harbors, Minnesota.
Natures architecture.
Out of my confort zone, normally i shoot seascapes.
This is a tree in my lokal wood. There are not many woods in my region. So if there is a tree like this it is very remarkable.
The IR foliage added a surreal mood and contrast.
The roots of a couple old trees are snarled and tangled - I guess locked together until the insects chew them up.
Happy Macro Monday!
An oldie but goldie, I took this image back in February of this year in Alexandria, VA along the banks of the Potomac. The morning was bitterly cold and the overhead clouds provided spurts of periodic snow while completely ruining the sunrise. Now, the DC metro area isn’t quite known of it’s stunning landscape or nature (monuments and architecture is where it’s at) so it’s always a bit of challenge to find some natural beauty.
I paced the shoreline for about 30 minutes trying to capture any glimpse of morning light hitting the Woodrow Wilson Bridge but ultimately didn’t get the shot I was looking for. While packing up and feeling frustrated about my lack of luck, I look up and see this. A large root snaking it’s way through the water and fast moving storm clouds over head. The horizon starts to clear, letting in some diffused light from the sunrise. I framed up, got my shot, and this image was the result! A perfect example to ALWAYS look for beauty and the unexpected and never give up until you find something. Sometimes all you need is a little patience, an open mind, and a keen eye!

The little, lone tree watched from its fated spot as seasons came, and seasons passed; crops were planted, and crops were harvested. Humans would come, and humans would go. Birds would keep the little tree company, only to fly away as the seasons changed. Clouds would drift overhead, only to disappear over the horizon.
Seasons came, and seasons passed; and came, and passed. And the little, lone tree watched silently, rooted and permanent in the tiny, ever-changing field it knew as home.

Adrift in a balloon high above Roots by Cica Ghost reveals below a wonderful mix of dark tones and bright colors amid the tangle of twisted roots and rolling landscape. Like something from a fantastic dream, a world of wonder awaits the curious visitor to this magical place.
With a day of hiking planned, we started our day out with a nice breakfast at the famed Betty's Pies. Our first stop was Gooseberry State park which is one of the most popular in the State of MN with an estimated 620K visitors annually.
There had just been a flooding rain a few days prior which made for the gushing water over the falls. We've been here many times but it never gets boring, I always seem to find a new angle to shoot.
Among the great struggles of man-good/evil, reason/unreason, etc.-there is also this mighty conflict between the fantasy of Home and the fantasy of Away, the dream of roots and the mirage of the journey.

If we were meant to stay in one place, we’d have roots instead of feet.
