I have returned to my favourite, magical location, the secret little world enclosed by the lazy meanders of the river Adda just downstream the eastern arm of the lake Como (its real name being Lario), just before it begins to flow into the Padan Plain. It is a hidden gem under everyone's eyes - surrounded as it is by busy roads, towns, and productive sites, as soon as you get on the river's banks you feel like you have entered an entirely different world. I think that the wetlands nestled between the meanders have preserved the place, making it less than amenable to settlements (but very amenable to a sheer variety of birds).
At 5° C and a substantially clean sky, I would have bet on the place being very misty, as it almost always is at early morning. Luckily I didn't, since I would have lost. The air was crystal clear, the place devoid of its usual mysterious ambiance (visit my album Silent banks to get an idea). I was lucky enough that Autumn was extremely generous with its treasures, and my sunrise session was not to go wasted, after all.
I was walking downstream, almost convinced that it was time to go back home, when a couple of twin old, large plane trees captured my attention. While framing, in the most serendipitous way, I was abruptly aware of the interplay of lights and shadows that was quietly unfolding behind my back while I was walking, a perfect yin and yang of day and night at the boundary between the two opposite poles - and that golden, fiery speck of a young plane tree right at the center of the dance, set against the dark hillside. Since such light conditions can last mere minutes, I hurriedly set up my tripod to capture the drama, not caring about the grass in the foreground being decently sharp or not.
I hope that you enjoy this new post of mine and wish you a nice Sunday.
I have processed this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.3/-0.67/0/+0.67/+1.3 EV] by luminosity masks with the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal" exposure shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
Along the journey I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic, which has contributed a lot to the rendering of the trees and reflections on the right side of the framing, enhancing the light transfixing the foliage. Raw files processed with Darktable.
Shot for Smile on Saturday, theme "capture the time"
As time passes, trees grow and build circles around the center every year. Based on these circles, the exact age of the tree can be determined. So, in a way, trees capture time in their inner system.
The American baseballer might have been referring to the Northland's winters. Another 4 inches (10 cm) of fresh white coated the trees again yesterday, putting a temporary halt to the thaw happily finally begun. As I view this scene from my deck, the sun is out, the temperature rising, the snow is already dropping from the trees, and the icicles have resumed their dripping as several feet of snow begins its descent from the roof. We've a long way to go, but I believe it may be that Spring has finally decided to take a stand.
[Note: For those thinking the green in yesterday's image represented new leaves, allow me to gently disabuse you of that notion. It was the pine trees captured by the light creating the illusion. It will be some time yet before any new foliage is seen on our deciduous friends. As you can see here, the oaks haven't even shed last year's foliage.]
Here is once again a view of my beloved solitary tree, captured as summer was coming to an end. The photo, taken with a Polaroid 1000 Land Camera, remains one of my most treasured moments. To my great sorrow, I have now discovered that this wonderful old maple has been cut down — such a heartbreaking piece of news.

Trees that stand alone in harsh landscapes have always been a favorite subject of mine to photograph. Last winter, while I was in Zion National Park, I came across a tree on the eastern side that seemed to be growing against a cliff. For my first image, I positioned myself directly under the tree, capturing it against the blue sky. For my second shot, I wanted a sideways view. This proved challenging because the tree jutted into the road, so I had to walk back quite a distance and use a 70mm focal length after climbing a cliff wall.

Thank you once again to everyone for taking the time to view & comment, it is really appreciated Dean
A brilliant red Japanese maple, with the colourful windows in the Chemistry building at UBC as a backdrop, captured my attention. Along came a young man and the tree captured his attention also. As he held and considered a single leaf before capturing it with his phone camera, I captured the whole tableau.
A forest kingfisher (Todiramphus macleayii) taken some time ago at the Eagleby Wetlands.
Here he is seen leaving his nest in the termite nest (arboreal termitaria) attached to the tree.
Captured with the Nikon D810 and the Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR AF-S lens.
Will be nice when we can travel more freely and not be concerned with COVID-19.

Cypress Trees capture my attention like no other. Growing in the water, often in places where they are never on dry land. The trees at Lake Moultrie have been a subject of mine several times, this time I was able to get much closer to them. This stand of 3 were the subject for longer than any other, a pair of healthy trees, flanked by one that was not as full, with just a little distance between them.
Hopton Castle is situated in the village of the same name in Shropshire.England. Hopton Castle featured in the British TV series Time Team in 2010. A ruin since the early 18th century, it was partially restored between 2006 and 2011, and was officially re-opened to the public .In the
Civil War it was garrisoned for Parliament, besieged by the Royalist forces for three weeks, and refused an offer of honorable quarter in return for surrender, preferring to fight to the last man. Every man of the garrison was killed and the castle slighted and abandoned.

The meandering branch shapes of this shapely little dogwood tree captured my attention. A painterly treatment enhances the way the blossoms top off the tips of the branches. All put together, this little tree has the air of a dancer.

Regarded as a pesr bird in Southern Australian they are mainly found in cereal ggrowing areas and are often seen in flocks sitting on powerlines or in trees.
Captured at Black Point, SA.
Captured on a Particulary Misty morning at sunrise with this tree capturing the sunlight and lit mist.
You always feel alone and at peace when the air is full of mist...
I'd hoped to have ended the year with a Sunset, but having been out for a walk this morning in pouring rain, I resorted to this - the bokeh is our outside Christmas Tree captured before it rained at 7.30 am with the text added later Anyhow this concludes my 12th consecutive year of taking one picture a day.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a Happy Healthy New Year .
The burning question is will I start on my 13th year tomorrow ? ......
A capture of our first snowfall a few weeks ago while there were still autumn leaves left on the trees. Captured one morning a few blocks from home on the Iowa River with my iPhone. Winter is here, but I'd much rather hang onto fall a while longer.
A neighbor's crabapple tree. Captured this one on my morning walk with Boucle today.
Magical time of year with all the pink blossoms on trees.
A high key rendering of leaves from our persimmons tree. Captured with a film era Penfax-F 135mm/F2.8 wide open. Explore Nov. 6, 2020 #227.
Though many places had mist and fog in the Midlands on the 29th December, where I live had very little, but instead the day dawned bright and cold. I was hoping for enough mist to capture a few sunbeams, but instead caught a beautiful hazy glow just as the sun broke the horizon. I was able to contrast the resulting warm colours with the cold, frosty ground and icy trees, capturing this almost magical scene of Winter beauty.
For you Abby, you always loved it here.

I still remember that moment, when the distant cluster of trees captured my attention. To me, it feels like they're balancing on that sharp ridge.

This huge tree captured my attention during my hike at Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge.
It reminds me the Ents that appear in The Lord of the Rings as ancient shepherds of the forest. Their name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word for giant (Wikipedia).
Well I'm a nerd and a fan of J. R. R. Tolkien :-D.
Die Stadt entstand in den 1860er Jahren als Folge der Einwanderungswelle während des Fraser-Canyon-Goldrauschs und entwickelte sich nach der Eröffnung der transkontinentalen Eisenbahn im Jahr 1887 innerhalb weniger Jahrzehnte von einer kleinen Sägewerkssiedlung zu einer Metropole. Die Wirtschaft basierte zu Beginn auf der Ausbeutung der natürlichen Ressourcen von British Columbia
Southern yellow-billed hornbill (Tockus leucomelas) in an acacia tree. Captured in May in Etosha National Park, Namibia, Africa. We found these birds to be somewhat shy, and they flew away at even a slow, stealthy approach in our truck. We did manage to capture a few good shots, and this was one of them.
Thank you for viewing, and many thanks for comments, positive or negative, as they are all a learning experience.

Before sunrise on a cold, clear autumn morning, fog rolled in and out of the Valley’s many meadows, providing an ethereal quality to these beautiful fall trees captured with my telephoto.
This is the time to leave your home and take a short trip to an outdoor nature place like this, or just do it in your imagination…right now.
When I noticed this optical phenomen (you can read about this here) on the sky the first one in my life I attended lectures from astronomy, so after my observation I asked my professor about it . She said that it was a halo and said that she had never observed this in her life:) From this moment I've observed this phenomen many times (in the first month three ones) :) Maybe because I like looking at sun:)
I dedicated this photo for my flickr friend Malcolm thanking for his great photos (especially of trees - he is really a master of trees captures) and for his amazing comments (many of them bowled me over:) in my language (he isn't a Pole) :) Many many thx:)
