With a little reprieve from the madness of work and study at the moment I thought I would try and get out for a mid week shoot - something I haven't done in... a very... long... time.
Checking the forecast showed clear skies spanning right across Sydney so I turned my focus to the morning fog being called for Richmond. Paying a visit back to the wonderful tree plantation that I visited a couple of years ago with Damien Seidel would require a departure from home by 5:00am and only watching ONE episode of Game Of Thrones the night before.
It better be worth it I thought turning the TV off at 9:30pm.
The drive out was looking terrific - 2 degree's and thick fog spanning the road ways leading into Richmond.
Unfortunately my excitement wasn't to be as I arrived to see that the tree's were standing amidst the only clear patch of fog in the entire area.
Thankfully I found some cool mushrooms to make up for it.
View large on black and, as always, thanks for looking!
Back to a few rural shots from northern Tasmania today. This stand of trees is from a timber plantation. That's why they are so closely packed together to encourage straight upward growth. Being on a hillside actually maximises the amount of sunlight that falls on the trees each day - following the same principle adopted by most vineyards.

With more countries declaring climate emergency, this is what is going to save us..
Plant more trees, reduce emissions, live a sustainable life.
Do it for the next generation.

Knoxville, TN, 2014.
Grow, but never grow up.
Spread your roots deep into the ground, but the head must remain above the clouds.
Grow old as your hair turns gray with experience, but the heart must stay young.
Spring in Knoxville.
A tree plantation inspired me more than I first expected. On the first photo of the serie I have shown you the tree plantation as it stands. Then I played with my camera to inscrease the shutter speed which allowed me to move the camera up or down while I took the photo.

Une plantation d'arbres bien droit à côté de la route m'a inspiré plus que je l'avais imaginé initialement. Je vous ai d'abord montré la plantation d'arbres telle que l'on peut l'observer. J'ai ensuite changé quelques paramètres sur mon appareil de manière à augmenter le temps d'exposition ce qui m'a permis de bouger l'appareil photo de bas en haut tout en prenant la photo ... voilà.

Just as night falls, a moment of peace in the pine woods at Rochester's Highland Botanical Garden.

Other areas were obviously a part of the tree farm/ plantation. This land formerly the Speculator Tree Farm is now under New York State control.

Quercus palustris, the pin oak or swamp Spanish oak, is an oak in the red oak section Quercus sect. Lobatae. Pin oak is one of the most commonly used landscaping oaks in its native range due to its ease of transplant, relatively fast growth, and pollution tolerance. Its distinctive shape is considered unique among hardwoods.
It is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 18–22 metres (59–72 ft) tall, with a trunk up to 1 metre (3.3 ft) diameter. It has an 8–14-metre (26–46 ft) spread. A 10-year-old tree grown in full sun will be about 8 metres (26 ft) tall. Young trees have a straight, columnar trunk with smooth bark and a pyramidal canopy. By the time the tree is 40 years old, it develops more rough bark with a loose, spreading canopy. This canopy is considered one of the most distinctive features of the pin oak: the upper branches point upwards, the middle branches are perpendicular to trunk, and the lower branches droop downwards.
A fast-growing pioneer or riparian species, pin oak is relatively short-lived, with a maximum lifespan of 120 years against many oaks which can live several centuries. It is naturally a wetland tree, and develops a shallow, fibrous root system, unlike many oaks, which have a strong, deep taproot when young. It is confined to acidic soils, and does not tolerate limestone or sandy Florida soil, and grows at low altitudes from sea level up to 350 m (1,148 ft). The Latin specific epithet palustris means "of swamps". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quercus_palustris

This pin oak is one of my favorite trees in the park. I love to sit on the bench there and enjoy it's shade as I look out over the Park. It's relatively short lifespan is a sorrow knowing that it won't last much longer than I. Sigh!
