Seems that these cypress trees do not have easy life near the ocean. Probably lots of wind and salty water in the air.

@Yair Karelic: maybe, but they seem to like it here :)

Your Cypress trees do seem to change colors a bit as well. Gorgeous light for this marvelous scene - well done!

@Jason Politte: Thanks Jason, what you see reddish or orange is a red lichen that lives on these trees, and it simply glows when sun shines through the branches of these trees.

Just magnificent Maria...as always. I really like the rust and copper colours as well as the light so beautifully positioned here! A masterful composition as always :-) I never tire of seeing your images ;-)

I love the image, but at the same time, wonder if a bit more contrast might improve it. ♥

9 Feb 2012 1:22am

@Judy aka L@dybug: Thanks much Judy... Well...maybe, but I think it will alter significantly the mood of the scene that I was witnessing. I already saturated over my usual limits to emphasize certain aspects, and believe it or not, I did add some contrast, but truly, it was really foggy with the sun smoothly but attractively breaking through the fog, enough to entice my senses and give the scene that magical and mysterious mood. It is what really attracted me when I took this photo. Had I added more contrast, sure...might improve it on a certain level, and maybe make it more appealing to visitors, but it will not be what it was, nor mean the same to me. This is valid only for this image, of course :) I know that I have a problem, in general, with contrast :))

amazing detail and colours - it is interesting how the tree was shaped by the winds!
