i declared today christmas tree day, dragged my cousins over to my place, and we set the tree up. :)
This tree is on the edge of the impoundment of the St. Joseph River for the Berrien Springs Dam. The piers form what appears to be a former railroad trestle are in the background.
Photographed on Kodak Vision 3 5219 motion picture film using a NIkon F with the FTN finder with a Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.5 lens and a Wratten 85 filter. Bleach bypass (silver retention) processed in the Kodak ECN-2 chemistry formulated from raw materials.
These trees tower over the forest. Hundreds of fett tall, they dwarf everything else.
the majestic serenity of a redwood forest. Towering trees with thick, straight trunks reach skyward, their canopies forming a dense, leafy ceiling high above. The foliage is a lush, vibrant green, indicating a healthy, thriving ecosystem. Light filters through the canopy, creating a soft, dappled effect on the forest floor, which is covered with ferns and other understory plants. The perspective of the photo, taken from the ground looking up, emphasizes the grandeur and height of the redwoods, making the viewer feel small in comparison. The atmosphere is peaceful and awe-inspiring, capturing the essence of these ancient and venerable giants of the forest.

Late afternoon skies darken above alpine peaks and a meadow holding a small reflecting tarn
No, I'm still not finished with the photographs from our nine-day photographic sojourn into the John Muir Wilderness, on which a group of us base camped in a stunning backcountry location and wandered off daily to photograph the area. Today, on a morning that is the first one of the season to feel winter-like here, it seems both odd and pleasant to think back on these summer days of photography, friends, sun, thunder showers, green meadows and flowers, cross-country hikes into high places, and more.
This meadow and its tarn were located perhaps 10-15 minutes above the location of our camp, and once we "discovered" the place we visited almost daily. It was a stunning place, filled with green meadow plants and wildflowers and surrounded by alpine scenery. The mountains to our south were a daily presence as they rose on the other side of a deep river canyon, and I had wanted to photograph this small tarn since I first saw it. That became my focus on this visit, and this photograph is one of several in which I tried to combine the meadow, tarn, small trees, and the distant view.

"A-ah!" - it what I said when I saw this gorgeous big tree in a private property near Lismore, NSW, Australia.
I had to sneak to the property to take just one shot, what is not very good, so I had to tweak it a bit in the photoshop.
Having to say we came there a year ago for a funeral, I thought about this tree: "what a celebration of life!"

Laburnum (commonly called Golden Chain) is a genus of two species of small trees in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae, Laburnum anagyroides (common laburnum) and L. alpinum (Alpine laburnum). They are native to the mountains of southern Europe from France to the Balkan Peninsula. Some botanists include a third species, Laburnum caramanicum, but this native of southeast Europe and Asia Minor is usually treated in a distinct genus Podocytisus, more closely allied to the brooms.
They have yellow pea-flowers in pendulous racemes 10–30 cm (4–12 in) long in spring, which makes them very popular garden trees. In L. anagyroides the racemes are 10–20 cm (4–8 in) long, with densely packed flowers; in L. alpinum the racemes are 20–30 cm (8–12 in) long, but with the flowers sparsely along the raceme.
The leaves are trifoliate, somewhat like a clover, the leaflets typically 2–3 cm (¾–1¼ in) long in L. anagyroides and 4–5 cm (1½–2 in) long in L. alpinum.
Most garden specimens are of the hybrid between the two species, Laburnum × watereri (Voss's Laburnum), which combines the longer racemes of L. alpinum with the denser flowers of L. anagyroides; it also has the benefit of low seed production (Laburnum seed can poison anyone who mistakes the seeds for peas).
The yellow flowers are responsible for the old poetic name 'golden chain tree' (also spelled golden chaintree or goldenchain tree).
All parts of the plant are poisonous and can be lethal if consumed in excess. Symptoms of laburnum poisoning may include intense sleepiness, vomiting, convulsive movements, coma, slight frothing at the mouth and unequally dilated pupils. In some cases, diarrhea is very severe and at times the convulsions are markedly tetanic. The main toxin in the plant is Cytisine, a nicotinic receptor agonist. It is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Buff-tip.
The heart-wood of a laburnum may be used as a substitute for ebony or rosewood, very hard and a dark chocolate brown, with a butter-yellow sapwood.
