This was a more experimental version of the "Colors of 2 degree" photographs. The bright orange (yellow-red range) color penetrating through the mist becomes the light of the trees - which has fascinated me. The challenging part is the purple fringing - which was so strong that it was extremely difficult to remove completely, and I kept such imperfectness in this image in order to keep an acceptable shape of the front object. Your comments and feedback are welcome!

This view up into the tall tree today was enough to make me come back and get some captures.
Triptych from this tree also below in the comments.
I was heading back from a somewhat unsuccessful visit to the moors to photograph Ring Ouzels when this interesting sunset started to develop. I legged it across the heather to find an interesting foreground subject just before the sun disappeared over the horizon.
for us so that we can inhale them to stay alive. Can we ever forget that? Let us love trees with every breath we take until we perish.โ

Admiring the Angel Oak tree located in Charleston, SC. For sure this tree has huge lungs!!

I saw these trees when I was walking through the park with my dog. I loved the light and the colour. More recently, the trees have been damaged in storms and drastically pollarded. Better for them, but it'll be a while before this green canopy exists again.
This tree is located along The Rivers Trail, a network of walking paths on the banks of the North and South Thompson Rivers. It was kind of a surprising thing to find this carving as it must have involved several hours work and it's doubtful that it was sanctioned by the city. I do love it but I just hope it hasn't harmed the tree.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! โค๏ธ โค๏ธ โค๏ธ
You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters.

In botany, a tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting branches and leaves in most species. In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, including only woody plants with secondary growth, plants that are usable as lumber or plants above a specified height. Trees are not a taxonomic group but include a variety of plant species that have independently evolved a woody trunk and branches as a way to tower above other plants to compete for sunlight. Trees tend to be long-lived, some reaching several thousand years old. In wider definitions, the taller palms, tree ferns, bananas, and bamboos are also trees. Trees have been in existence for 370 million years. It is estimated that there are just over 3 trillion mature trees in the world.
A tree typically has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground by the trunk. This trunk typically contains woody tissue for strength, and vascular tissue to carry materials from one part of the tree to another. For most trees it is surrounded by a layer of bark which serves as a protective barrier. Below the ground, the roots branch and spread out widely; they serve to anchor the tree and extract moisture and nutrients from the soil. Above ground, the branches divide into smaller branches and shoots. The shoots typically bear leaves, which capture light energy and convert it into sugars by photosynthesis, providing the food for the tree's growth and development.
Trees usually reproduce using seeds. Flowers and fruit may be present, but some trees, such as conifers, instead have pollen cones and seed cones. Palms, bananas, and bamboos also produce seeds, but tree ferns produce spores instead.
Trees play a significant role in reducing erosion and moderating the climate. They remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store large quantities of carbon in their tissues. Trees and forests provide a habitat for many species of animals and plants. Tropical rainforests are among the most biodiverse habitats in the world. Trees provide shade and shelter, timber for construction, fuel for cooking and heating, and fruit for food as well as having many other uses. In parts of the world, forests are shrinking as trees are cleared to increase the amount of land available for agriculture. Because of their longevity and usefulness, trees have always been revered, with sacred groves in various cultures, and they play a role in many of the world's mythologies.
