My Favourite Tree Again

I am posting a bit late tonight because I have spent most of the day editing really old photos of my parents, grandparents, great grandparents and my sister and myself when we were kids. I am going to put them all in a photo book when I have finished. It is quite a job.

I am posting photos in black and white for a few days and I can't do black and white without including my favourite dead mangrove tree in the ocean. I think it looks quite nice in monochrome.

I knew this was your tree before I clicked on the image! Lovely in monochrome. Very evocative of the current age.

I am cross-eyed tonight after spending all day on the computer.

@dide @julzmaioro @yaorenliu Yes I have seen your Wanaka tree on 365, this one isn't as famous though. It is a dead mangrove tree. Access to it isn't easy, it is just I walk on this beach regularly as it isn't far from my house. Not easy to access though and not too many people know about it. You have to walk through waterfront bushland and mangroves to get to it.

Sorry to hear your Wanaka tree has been vandalized.

[haskar]

Beautiful capture.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's always beautiful every time you take it!

[Walks @ 7]

Magical! FAV!

[Pam]

Wow. It is beautiful. How sad that it is gone.
