The Bradford Pear, scientific name, Pyrus Calleryana, is an ornamental pear tree with small fruit approximately 1 cm in diameter. In North America the tree is often used in landscaping homes and businesses alike. The fruits, though popular with wildlife, are bitter and are not generally eaten by people. In recent years, it is thought the Bradford Pear has become invasive, growing in places where it was not planted. Beautiful white flowers in the Spring, and bright red leaves in the Fall make it a popular, if not problematic choice.

for 52 weeks of pix group SOOC apart from touching up the dirty spots that showed up in the sky, Boohoo will have to clean my sensor in the next few days, FUN, not! Taken using a polarizing filter.
The light of a full moon illuminating the lone tree at Rydal Water one that I had forgot about on the hard drive the portrait version of one posted a while back.
I love this fall-colored tree shaped like a heart. Taken at Fancy Gap, Va., just off the Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 199.
This is most likely the last of the fall colors, as may trees are bare now, and it is colder, although no hard freezes yet.

From a long day out with a bunch of other photo enthusiasts in the National Park Thy area in Denmark - April 21, 2018.
This photo was taken from my first trip to Africa. I taught in a small village on the western side of Kenya.
I am currently on my second trip to Africa. I am in Mozambique, with the PeaceCorps. I will be there for two years teaching at a University. Check out my blog and more photos at

Taken as we were walking in the bush near Springwood, Queensland a couple of weeks ago. Springwood National Park is nearby and is a part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area over the Scenic Rim in the hinterland of the Gold Coast.
It was declared a heritage site by UNESCO in 1994 due to its unique geology, subtropical and cool temperate rainforests and rare fauna, and though small on a global scale, its value to the world is immense. In the past 200 years, three-quarters of Australia's rainforests have been destroyed or degraded. However, Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area conserves a rich diversity of wildlife, including more than 1700 species of flowering plants and 500 vertebrate animals. Protecting these areas in national parks or other reserves ensures this biological diversity is secure. It also allows natural processes such as evolution to continue, undisturbed by human influence.
A late afternoon shot at Horai-ji temple (鳳来寺) in Aichi prefecture, Japan. Shot on a Wista N 4x5 camera using a Fujinon 180/5.6 SF (soft focus) lens @ f/11 for 1/30 second. It was taken on Fomapan 200 film at box speed. The negatives were processed in an SP-445 tank using Adox FX-39 (1+9) for 6.5 minutes @ 20C. Scanning was done on an Epson GT-X970 (V750) using Vuescan in neutral mode.

I've always been fascinated by symmetrical geometry in objects and figures. Maybe that's why I spent the latter part of my professional career working on computational geometry.
This is a photo of a tree at sunset, with bright clouds in the background. Well, it's the right half of a tree flipped over and shifted to make the left half.
I guess it could be a rohrschach ink blot card. The rohrschach test was invented for identification and treatment of psychologically abnormal people. The psychologist shows the subject the card and asks what the subject sees. What do you see? I'm not sayin'.
Landscape photography is to the daily 9-5 grind as infrared photography is to wearing your tie on your head and singing karaoke on Friday night.

Trees have always been something special to me, be it climbing them as a child or sitting under them now that I’m older. To me a tree reflects life. They clean our air in order for us to breathe in the clean oxygen they produce and provide shade and comfort in the sweltering hot atmosphere where I live.
Camera: Canon AF35M
Film: Seattle Filmworks, expired
Developed, Arista C41 kit
These are from an old roll of Seattle Filmworks film. I bought it in a lot, and there was no date on it. Researching the film, I learned that it was scrap ends of kodak motion picture film and required ECN-2 process to develop. I read that you can develop this film in C-41 chemicals, but you will need to scrub off the protective carbon layer. I developed this using an Aritsa C-41 kit. When I took the film out of the developing tank, there was no carbon layer! The rinse water, deveoper and the Blix were normal colours when they came out of the tank, so it did not come off during deveoping. I'm guessing Seattle filmworks at one point was using normal C-41 film, and just told people it was a diffrent process so people would continue to mail it in for developing. Has anyone else had this experience?
