A powerful image Bill!

wonderful capture!!

Superb capture Bill. God Bless.

Looks like a great tree fell, and I do believe it made a horrific crashing sound, whether or not anyone was there to witness it. ;c)

The point of view retains something of the moment of the falling of the tree, although it seems to have happened some time ago. I agree, this image has power.

I love seeing these fotos of my backyard--so wonderful that you were here!!

Yowser, that's a big lump of tree there Bill, well seen and captured my friend

What grabs me most about this are the fabulous colours in the broken trunk. They are so many and so rich.

You have me stumped Bill, I don't know but does anything make a sound, or is sound just waves which are picked up by the air and turned into sound. Its like where does space end!!! Getting deep now! Lovely shot btw.

A neat shot Bill!

What a beautiful place, a home for lots of critters!!

Wow that is one huge tree awesome shot.

I've no idea, but I do know it makes for some great photo-ops

Wonderful on zoom too.

Stunning vivid colors!

Amazing colors and textures in this awesome capture Bill!

It sure makes a sound, creating vibrations in the air, regardless whether some person is there to hear it or not. That whole arguement is silly philosophy (I remember it from 1970, when I was in college. It's absurdly human-centered). Interesting photo. I assume you are standing and the diameter is greater than your stature. The light and color here is again beautiful and fantastic to behold. I'd love to walk among such trees again! Like being in a great natural cathedral. Love to see more, as you promised. Keep up the good work! :-)

marvelous hot

I am sure some worms have felt the vibrations of that fall :) Wonderful shot, Bill :)

When one of these falls, I'll bet it registers on seismographs miles away! A beautiful shot, Bill!

just like the argument of what came first, the chicken or the egg.an exhilarating capture

Such a majestic forest, and brilliant capture!

Excellent composition and depth on this Bill! :)

thats one thing i suppose we shall never know, what is a comforting thought is no matter how long a tree stands when at long last it falls it ploughs all its goodness back into the ground to lay the foundation for others to thrive, such is life. Now where were we, oh yes, a great picture.

SUPERLATIVE IMAGE!

I've pondered that question for years, and have come to the conclusion that it does. It's just that we're not around to hear it. Anyway, clear and crisp, plus rich colors, detal and contrast in this stellar shot, Bill. Much moister environment there then in our El Dorado Nature Center down here.

Nice perspective~~

awesome shot!!! poor ex? tree

ok, more of this series...one of the gifts of this series is that each shot gives us a different view of the same general environment, and one of the things I noticed with this, as soon as it went up, was that the trees here are brighter, more lit-up with light. They almost seem like 'rays' in the background, in contrast to the big fanned-out mass of that trunk. And fanned-out is the right word. It's almost like an installation, like nature carved it to be a work of art. You've caught it beautifully, and the bottom portion slopes down with all that soil & furrows, etc. A very green bright shot, with a very dark imposing mass in front. Terrific contrast, Bill, and you obviously have an eye for all the variations that a single place can offer. I know that a redwood forest is more than just "a single place," but still; you've captured quite a few variations beyond the massive trunks and dappled shadows. Beautiful powerful piece. (As I might have said, my fav's aren't working, so forgive that I'm not faving Just know your work is a fav with me all the time.)

Love your forest shots Bill.. Beautiful, natural the colours are so stunning LIKE1 Can you tell? lol Well shot and good POV! Rob P.S: How you doing mate? Rob
