Love the pictures Machiel.
Can you tell me were you take them?

hello cees!

I took those pictures at the hatertse vennen near nijmegen.
The ground here is pure sand and trees develop slow.

I love it there, especially at sunset.

took these two hours ago
eastern white cedars 800 years old ..growing on the niagara escarpment

Ten years ago this Easter I purchased this live oak. Fortunately, the property includes a house so I don’t have to live in my car! My neighborhood was formerly the grounds of a plantation on the western outskirts of town, and this is one of the many trees here that dates to that time. This tree had room to spread and is much wider (130 ft) than it is tall. It covers the back part of the property like an umbrella and the branches hang to the ground in the yard behind me.

a local oak tree in essex , great nebari!!

One of my favourite trees. An Oak in a local wood.

Seems like I'm not the only one fond of this tree. There are bits of ribbon all over it. Bloody tree huggin hippies!!

Nature is inimitable!!!
Great photos, everyone of them!
Happy you to have enjoyed such spectales!

Will, what a knarly old tree! Love it.

Hello Jay. I think it used to be pollarded many moons ago. A huge ammount of coppicing and pollarding, literally died out during the first and second ww. Work has re started in the last few years to pollard some of these veterans again, so future generations can hang bits of material from them.

Some pictures from Soestduinen in Holland.
Firs to are from a very old Juniper.




My dog always mannish to be there were ever I make pictures.



A forest in a forest.



Pinus cascade.



Nice nebari.



And again, there he is.

Not exactly a tree, just a branch of a Scot's Pine growing along the the coast in County Down, Northern Ireland. I love finding this sort of photo to show members of the public at shows when they say,"That just doesn't look natural. You wouldn't see that in nature".

But that branch isn't natural.. You can see the straight cuts all along it.
