La relève semble assurée pour cet arbre mais qu'en sera-t-il demain pour l'humanité ? Si nous disparaissons, la nature pourra survivre, je ne vois pas d'autre issue :-(((

I love the shape of that skeletal looking tree..........it looks amazing silhouetted against the sky.

Great to see the new tree growing to replace it in due course.

I love that tree Isabel. Whenever I see one like it, it reminds me of "The Lightening Tree" song.
A really beautiful picture. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbHD6Bzwu18

What a great old tree even in decay!
I realize that I now have the same camera you have:-) Bought it as an Xmas present for myself and as consolation for all the cancelled travels....

You will not regret it, this camera is amazing...

Gudrun ^club has replied to Xata ^club

It's pretty intuitive! Miles better than my small Canon Powershot.

Xata ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

And full frame, which is at least for me very important. I still have the Nikon 800, I use it for birdwatch mainly as I only kept the 300mm prime lens and the teleconverter...

Gudrun ^club has replied to Xata ^club

Full frame is important, but the files are huge! I still keep and use my Canon 6D, for macro and tele mostly.

Xata ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Just use jpeg files, no need for dng files because photos usually are good enough SOOC, no much postprocessing needed…

Les arbres sont sans doute les seuls êtres vivants qui conservent leur beauté et leur dignité après la mort. Ce Quercus est magnifique et c'est heureux qu'il fasse partie de notre environnement.

An excellent choice for the last challenge, Isabel. When read the title my first thought was the Q. ilex was an evergreen, then I read your description.
