Kauai's Tree Tunnel on the way to Koloa town and Poipu beach, was planted over 150 years ago when the wealthy 'Scotsman' and Kauai cattle rancher Walter Duncan McBryde donated over 500 Eucalyptus trees that were left over after landscaping his estate. The tree tunnel is over a mile long and shades the cars that pass underneath along the highway.
Where I was standing to get this shot was at a three way intersection, and of course I picked one of the busiest times to try and get it! I really wanted this shot without any cars in it and I noticed that every few minutes there would be a break in the traffic. After standing in the middle of the road for about 10 minutes I got this shot a split second before a car came into the frame on my right side. The only thing I had to clone out was some lady standing on the right side of the road taking pictures with her camera phone!

I love those old wise trees, they look like very special creatures to me and so relevant for the whole Mediterranean area....
This was the weather today. Crappy. And just because of the crappy weather I took an extra walk up to the old tree at Välsta. We are expecting 15 C and a blue sky over the weekend so my next photo tomorrow will be a little different.

Macricostas Preserve, Washington, Connecticut.
We took a short walk up to Waramaug Rock and around the Macricostas loop trail and the fall colors were spectacular. And, they didn't really do anything for me photographically, just nice to look at.
These old and rotting trees, however, had a lot of appeal and now that I've looked carefully at the images, I think I'll return to them today and take some more shots of different sides of them.
Not that fall colors aren't part of a decay cycle, but these old trees seem more interesting to me.

"Like a solitary tree,
I stand alone,
Wondering,
Which way the wind,
Will blow.
Like a solitary tree,
Amidst a battle field,
No means to protect,
No way to shield.
The cold winds of life,
Of love and war,
Of changing seasons,
And so much more.
But despite all this,
My roots run deep,
Firm in the ground,
I shall not weep.
Strong am I,
A solitary tree,
Learning from all,
That is around me.
Strong am I,
To brace this wind,
If I show courage,
I’m sure to win.
I'll keep those roots,
Firm in the ground,
In those roots,
My soul is found."

This is an area of the woods along the Cedar River. It shows a very tiny part of the location where I do most of my 'wildlife' photography. Sometimes it is interesting to see the habitat rather than the inhabitants.
Won't win any awards for beauty, particular when shown before the trees start greening, but it does give some idea of the density of the woods.
The water is a bit of backwater from the river.
Well - I haven't stopped taking pictures of this old man. It was a matter of timing tonight. The snow, the sunset, the fact that I could finally park on the shoulder now that it had been plowed.
As I promised - this one is for you, Pat. Hope you like apple trees ;-)

Amongst others you will find fantastic shots of the beautiful landscape of norway . Since I saw larigans photos for the first time I wish I could go to norway as soon as possible.
Wonderful weekend to all of you.
The island fortress of Spinalonga has seen the face of war many times and has withstood battles and sieges. Unfortunately, these were not the saddest times the island has seen. Long after the cannons grew cold, the island was used as a leper colony, from 1903 to 1957, one of the last active ones in Europe. The fortress that was built to keep intruders out, became a prison, keeping ill people inside for decades.
Riverbank, Cottonwood Trees. Yosemite Valley, California. October 30, 2013. © Copyright 2013 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Cottonwood trees with fall foliage reflected in the calm surface of the Merced River in late afternoon light
It is barely a month after I made this photograph, and the feeling is now more that of winter than of autumn. (Though where I live some autumn leaves are still falling for a few more days.) But back at the end of October I spent two days photographing fall color in Yosemite Valley. Sierra weather can be almost anything at this time of year, but aside from some leftover snow high up along the Valley's walls, down below it was sunny and bright with the warm autumn light that can characterize the season in these mountains.
The main leaf color in the Valley comes from black oak, big leaf maple, cottonwoods, and dogwood, each providing its own variations of color and timing. When I was there the maples were a bit past their peak, and at least some of the dogwoods were still becoming more colorful. It seemed like cottonwoods were very close to their most colorful and the black oaks were also quite good. On the first afternoon I spent some time wandering along a section of the Merced River, photographing the cottonwood trees with the Valley's cliffs as a backdrop and occasionally with the autumn-smooth waters of the Merced reflecting their colors.

Another shot from the dune area near Vogelenzang. The trees have grown askew due to the sea wind that often blows here.
Three trees at Monastery Brow, County Wicklow.
Scots Pines are everywhere really, like a common or garden tree, but they can be so stately as well.
