This shot was taken at a resort outside Colombo, Sri Lanka.
I was actually in the pool when i saw the sky turn these beautiful shades and so legged it back to my room to grab my cam. Although this scene was taken more with the sunset in mind, i think the silhouettes of the coconut trees make a spectacular foreground and add to the overall effect. This shot, like life, just would not be the same without the trees! Although i must add that i don't think the small-size version quite does it justice..

OKAY, I was quite lucky here.
Our summer holiday was in Austria, and most of it in the Waldviertel which is the forest quarter! So, without seeing the forum subject for a month I do have a nice forest shot. As you understand I saw quite a lot of trees this month. I took it while my wife drove slowly (it would be very difficult driving as well,) through the woods.



Here is the picture in Large size:

Well Hopefully GMT saved me submitting this picture.
Taken during a festival in my home town where they used blue and green spotlights on the trees, for a very nice effect.
It was difficult to capture it, and that was a reason for me to buy a tripod afterwards.
Here it is:

I call this one "Too early!".

I had a number of ideas, but this one struck me with the greatest impact. Trees can represent many things: life; family; nature. For me they represent change.

BUT NOT TOO EARLY!!!

Lens and focal length: 50-200 @ 200mm

Trees in the early morning reflecting off the lake. I imagine these trees just waking up, looking at themselves in the mirror, making sure their leafs are all combed.
