The Moon Tree... by vignouse

The Moon Tree...

...to this day, at the edge of a certain village whose history the few remaining inhabitants try to forget, at midnight on the eve of the Winter Solstice - and for the briefest of moments - those with the eyes to see may behold the Moon Tree in all its unearthly glory.

Definitely to be viewed on black... for the briefest of moments!

Beautiful!

This is stunning with the moon perfectly framed by the trees. Did you have to create a composite to get this in the exactly right position or just wait for it patiently? It really is great.
January 28th, 2015  
Splendid! What a great shot. A fav for sure
January 28th, 2015  
This is stunning!

Amazing, stunning photo! If you look at it a long while, the tree on the right looks like arteries spreading out into the black. Is it a Sycamore tree, Richard? I love winter trees. They show off their shapes and cures we can't see when they are wearing their leafy wardrobe!

Its magic on black! Why can't we see it like that all the time! fav

Beautiful place and work. It seems like a negative cliche or maybe an infrared picture. :)

FAV. Beautiful

Superbly excellent in an outstanding kind of way

This looks like one of those times when the moon seems so large you think it is coming closer - do you know what I mean. Wonderful capture. You use white to define the trees, just too cool.

@princessliz Thanks Joan but apparently the Fav button didn't work as it's not showing on my statistics - would you like to give it another try please... thanks in anticipation.
January 31st, 2015  
Beautiful !! you are inspiring. Richard you mentioned viewed on black, what does that mean and how is it done or is this photo a view on black?
February 1st, 2015  
@jocee Thank you for your kind comments which are very much appreciated. View on black - left click with your mouse anywhere on the image and all the windows details will disappear leaving just the image (usually enlarged) on a plain black background - many images are better viewed like this. To restore the screen, either left click on the image again or click on the word 'Close' in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
