From a hike a couple years ago with my son, Alex. Cedar forests of Yakushima, Japan

Digital camera.

I took advantage of a noon minus-tide today to hike to a couple small isolated beaches. Besides a few small agates, I came home with this insight...such a minor thing, but a minor blessing nevertheless:

Sitting on the shore I noticed
I could see far more rock than water.
Then I realized
I was looking at far more ocean than land.

Are those beautiful fallen trees over the water in Japan some kind of cedar, Vaughn? It's like a Japanese painter put them there on purpose - just like all the "bonsai" dwarf hemlocks secretly planted by Japanese around our timberlines !

I was there in winter, and they did not have their leaves. I call them Japanese Madrones, but just for the bark. But this was in some of the last old cedar forests of Japan. You can see some ceder branches behind the 'madrone'.

The color reminds me of madrones, as does the peeling bark I can now see in this last picture. Lovely trees.

I stopped in the redwoods of the southern end of the county as I drove up yesterday. I took a short stroll through an area I would like to bring the 11x14 to...thankfully a short stroll. It would be fun to set the camera up in the same spot and make a 5x14 B&W. Lens (360mm) would be 15 or 20 feet above the forest floor (on the butt end of a fallen redwood) -- with a little correction (not total) for the perspective of looking down.

Digital image, low light, only global adjustments of the file -- I'm not likely to duplicate the light of this image, but look forward to working here.
