...But also growing vertically!

Thanks, Colin! I was going to post another picture, and you kicked in, so I added my thanks...

Same tree as above, a 3-pic pano shot, given the narrow space in the forest, and my widest lens at hand being a 70 mm...

Not the same observation point, I turned around the tree 90° to its L.

Nikon Df, 70-180mm f/4.5-5.6 AF-D micro-Nikkor @70mm

Ciao from Massimo

This was taken on my Pixel 6
Also I struggle to get photos below the 2.5Mb  Nikongear limit, so some quality may have been lost.

Today, the tree was almost upstaged by the autumn cyclamen :)

Looks like cascading shrimps!  Very unique.

Great Massimo, the shrimp was eye-catching, but I really like the broody one before it :)

That's also true to me!

Remote area tree

Even in a densely populated area like Europe, there are remote areas in the Alps where it was unfeasible to do logging and forestry works, so the trees had an opportunity to grow undisturbed.

Depicted here is a huge larch tree (Larix decidua) in the French Queyras. The first "branch",  is larger than most trees in the surroundings

(Fons, I wouldn't eat chestnuts from that tree you photographed...)

Fons - I like your birch trees and processing.

One more tree that seems to be looking back at me   :-\

Treetops

Almost B&W, but not quite, the sky is actually a very pale azure.

Not even exploiting the full resolution of the Z7, this pic was taken in M mode (6192x4128 pix). Reduced for NG to 1500x1000

You still have a few leaves still hanging on there Massimo.

And so, from the tree tops to the roots

A bit to the low key side, but I liked the light and mood which changed almost from shot to shot - from a late afternoon walk in the local park today.
