Skeleton Mangrove

I am posting early today because I have a friend coming round this afternoon.

As the cinemas are closed at the moment we have decided to have the occasional DVD day at home and today we are going to watch the 1993 movie Dave.

Here is another photo from my walk on the beach on Thursday. I can't go to this beach without taking yet another photo of my favourite tree can I.

You can see the remains of the oyster beds off in the distance if you look carefully.

Glad you found the stingray holes interesting yesterday.

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

Nice shapely tree, perfect composition on this one, I think.

[*lynn]

sad tree, I think

[Taffy]

Very dramatic -- almost dystopian.

[Gosia]

Nice in B&W

[bkb in the city]

Perfect in black and white

[Kathy A]

That is a fabulous tree. Our movie theatres are open, Ive been twice and both times our party were the only people in there

[Ingrid]

I like your composition with the little tree next to it and the oyster beds in the background

[Diana]

Wonderful shot and composition.

[Issi Bannerman]

Lovely dramatic capture.

[haskar]

Great composition and processing.

[Casablanca]

Nice idea to have cinema at home. I don't know that film. Must look it up! Nice image of your tree.

[Valerie Chesney]

Looks a bit sad & lonely there..I do like the tiny tree growing beside beside your favourite.

[Monique]

Love the feel of this shot, beautiful composition

[Mave]

Dramatic

[Clare Gadsby]

such a human tree somehow

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful in b&w. The tree looks like it is praying for some company.

[Susan Wakely]

A desolate shot. Fav

[Peter]

Lovely perspective and seascape Babs, suits the b&w tones well, enjoy the film how politics in the USA have changed, lol :)

[Lee-Ann]

Nice shot

simple and beautiful. Nice B&W

[Sally Ings]

It is a rather photogenic tree. Works well in black and white.

[carol white]

A lovely monochrome capture. Fav!! 😀

[bruni]

When I saw the tree I thought this is someone's favorite tree! and sure enough, it was yours. it looks like most of the roots are above ground, but then we don't see the ones underground.

[Margaret Brown]

Super b&w capture!

[Sue Cooper]

This is lovely and so effective in b&w.

[Pat Knowles]

An Australian beach in winter...still beautiful & interesting!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I think we all like your favorite tree- it has personality and determination! Great black and white.

[Lois]

I can see why it’s your favorite tree! Lovely shape and strong presence on the empty beach.

[Kate]

Is that a baby mangrove tree on the right, possibly an offshoot of your favorite tree? Well-presented in B&W.

[Ann Williams]

Beautiful in b&w.

[Helen Jane]

love the drama of the skeleton mangrove

[Pyrrhula]

Great capture of this beautiful view.
(The frost was necessary to convert the bitter taste into more sweetness. Today's races no longer need that)

[Pam]

This tree is almost symbolic of all of us during this time...struggling but still hanging in there. I love the raw beauty of this shot.

[Jane Pittenger]

Ditto Pam

[Babs]

Thanks, it still looks elegant even though it has ceased to grow.

@kjarn I wish our cinema would open again. It did start up briefly and we went to see The Personal History of David Copperfield and then the cinema shut again because we had Covid cases in our local community.

@casablanca It is a brilliant movie. Hints of either Kennedy or maybe Bill Clinton I suspect but very clever and funny.

@happysnaps The tiny tree is a baby mangrove probably growing from an offshoot of the larger skeleton.

@sangwann There are plenty of mangroves quite nearby, but none so far out on the beach.

@k9photo Yes I too think the baby mangrove is an offshoot of my favourite tree.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Wonderful shot

[PhylM-S]

Gorgeous

[Annie D]

love that tree and the wonderful tidal lines
