I took another walk today, this time, with other people. Total mileage: 14.4km on foot.
This is one of five group shots I took. Thanks to istorya.net
I got bored of attempting HDR so i thought I'd destroy some instead.
bent in hexedit, then messed with in fireworks.
At one of our farm stays, I was able to walk in the fields. This was near Reykholt. One of the few trees...
Aaaaand another one from my trip to Ireland last year. Found this amazing tree somewhere in the woods.
Enjoy your Saturday, everyone!
The tree stands in the local churchyard. It's over 300 years old, which makes it one of the oldest surviving tulip trees in Britain, as the species was originally introduced here in 1688. I estimate this one to be at least 20m high.. They can grow to 30m or more.
I hope you don't mind me posting another tree photo. I was checking older photos and I came across this one, so I decided to see if I can bring it to life with some textures. I've done two versions. I don't know which one I like best.

The quiver tree or "Kokerboom" is one of the most interesting and characteristic plants of the very hot and dry parts of Namibia and the northwestern part of the Cape Province in South Africa. Actually it is no tree, but an aloe plant. The botanical name is ALOE DICHOTOMA. Dichotoma refers to the forked branches of the plant. The plant is called a "Kokerboom" because some Bushmen and Hottentot tribes used the tough, pliable bark and branches to make quivers for their arrows. "Koker" is the Afrikaans word for quiver. The big trees in the forest of Farm Gariganus are between 200 and 300 years old.
Found this cruising the archives. One of my early shots with the 350D. Hope you all like it. It's a smal reminder of a too short but perfect holiday last year.
Have a great day! Thanks for your kind comments, visits, support, wishes! I am realy glad seeing you here!

I like my Christmas tree. I turn the lights on every morning about 8 am and don't turn them off again until I'm ready to go to bed.

Arctostaphylos sp.
MANZANITA. Old manzanitas with trunks so large they look like trees. Reynolds Road.
I like the shapes that dead trees make in the Australian Outback. They can really add to the landscape there.
So many of my photos in the last 12 months have been macros - which I really enjoy taking - but it's time to get a few more landscape & natural photos up to balance them out!
It's becoming tradition for me to take a night shot of this tree whenever I'm at "The Animal House", even on Christmas : )
This photo is also featured here:
This driveway is just down the road from my house. As you can see, the sun was really low here. Golden light and long shadows.
Ok, this is kinda one of those "look at my light" type shots, but I am having fun.
The tree is located near a geocache, and when one of our vehicles got stuck in the snow, a few of us had time to kill while the others were off purchasing a tow strap.
This tree was backlit by a factory in the distance, so I opened up the camera on a bulb exposure, and gelled the flash so it would match the incadescent lighting in the area. During the exposure I wandered around the tree and popped the flash a few times, particularly when I was behind it. SB-800 on full power, 14mm zoom.

Update - August 2009. I drove by here the other day. The tree is gone now.
