Trees are fascinating in the Winter. Some lose their leaves, some are evergreens. And there are chopped off trees, who lost their lives.

Tree at Moonlight
While driving along the Bay in Monterey, this tree was lined up with the moon in a beautiful way
Spooky Sunset
The Sunset a day before Halloween – with two peaks looking like a spooky castle hiding in between the trees
Full Moon in Pacific Grove
On a trip to the Pacific Coast I had a nice evening walk along the Coast Line of Pacific Grove towards Monterey. A bright Full Moon was shining in between the trees.
After the 4th of July Fire
Unfortunately, my Rogge Mountain Ranch got substantially burned, roughly 20 acres. Luckily, the airplanes dropped many loads of fire retardant to keep the fire away from house and home. Here are some iPhone impressions I collected a few days after the fire and some more just a few days ago.
Wildfire, the sculptor…
Wildfire causing pure devastation
Nearly untouched….
And… a new morning is rising…
Joshua Trees
Located in Southern California is a National Park that is named after the Tree that lives in this Park – the Joshua Tree.
Actually, it is not a tree but a succulent that stores water. However, it is called the Tree of the Desert and grows in many areas of Joshua Tree National Park and also in the Mojave and Colorado Desert.
On my recent trip through the South, I photographed many of these trees with its spiky leaves. And again, taking these photos in infrared was somehow difficult due to the permanent blowing wind which made a long shutter speed nearly impossible.
Beartooth Hwy
On a drive up on the mountains between Montana and Wyoming – 10947 ft above sea level, I found this root at Long Lake on Beartooth Highway.
Winter in Yosemite
After the last snowstorm it was like magic in Yosemite Valley – I couldn’t stop photographing the snow-covered trees on El Capitan Meadow
