10 Really Amazing Pictures of Trees

August 30th, 2006

Flickr is almost certainly one of the best online photo management and sharing application in the world. And this is where I found these shots. Each photo includes the link to it’s original post, to make it easier for you to find it and also respond to authors of these amazing pictures. So, here is 10 pictures which really impressed me and thus I wanted to share them with all of you…

I’d like to start with poem by Michael S. Glaser:

I have always felt the living presence of trees
the forest that calls to me as deeply as I breathe,
as though the woods were marrow of my bone
as though I myself were tree, a breathing, reaching
arc of the larger canopy beside a brook bubbling to foam
like the one deep in these woods, that calls that whispers home

Here is the lovely photo from the top header, this one I wanted to blog separately from other 10 pictures. Roots of trees typically lie below the surface of the soil. However, in this case, a root is aerial or as would botanologist say “aerating” and the photo has such composition it’s hard to overlook this shot among other pictures. I would love to know where this picture was taken. Really awesome, what do you think? And also, does anyone know what type of tree this is? Anyhow : http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterstuckings/107416795/
