I purposefully went to Cradle Mountain in Autumn to get the colours of the deciduous beech tree (northofagus gunnii. With the help of the morning light, I came away with this beautiful memory.

Alas we did not get the mist this morning that I had hoped for yesterday evening, but the weather was good enough to take the bike and cycle to laneland again. Better than sitting at home in front of the computer. Even though the lanes are pretty bare here at the moment, they still show a specific colour spectrum which makes them attractive I find. The last brown leaves of the beech trees give an extra touch of colour. Taken near Maartensdijk/The Netherlands. I actually for the first time took my new monopod along and am very satisfied with the results.

Myrtle beech forest at Tarra Bulga State Forest park, In Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. This photo was taken up near where the Gippsland fires had burnt in Feb 2009. Luckily The park didnt really get touched bar the spot fire near the information building/rangers office. Tarra Bulga National Park surived the Black saturday fires and still stands though a few kilometres down the road it is a different story all together from the top of Mount Tassie right to the bottom of the mountain everything has been wiped out including peoples homes, farms, vechiles, communication towers, forest plantations etc.

Unfortunately this is one of the areas that was affected by “Black Saturday”, I am so hoping that this little pocket of Myrlte beech forest wasnt touched by the fires. There were fires in the Blue Range, Marysville National park. The Myrtle beech trees have been around since the Jurassic period. I stood in the river with my jeans rolled up to my knees, the water had slowed nearly to a stillness as it gathered around the rocks in the water that were covered with moss, as I hit the timer button on my camera in that 10 seconds I had time to reflect on the raw beauty of this ancient forest. The forest that stood before me was thousands of years old. It was summer out beyond these beautiful old trees it was a stinking hot day, the flies stuck to my body, I found relief in the river and under the ancient old tree. Under the ancient trees it was freezing, for some strange reason it was like the middle of winter under the trees and my feet and legs were numb from the icy water that I stood in.

While normally I submit different pictures to this gallery here and my galleries on deviantArt, I do not want to keep away from you the shots that are most successfull over there. And this one attracted more than a thousand views in only 16 hours! So I do hope you will like it too. / Taken again near Laage Vuursche in a lovely little beech-tree grove. As you can see the trees are still very green, but there are clear signs that autumn is on the way. It will only take about four weeks now to colour these leaves beautifully.

It is fascinating to see the different colours at the moment here in the centre of the Netherlands. While some trees already show their full autumnal beauty, others still keep very much their green appearance. But on this beautiful beech-tree lane near Maartensdijk, autumn is clearly on its way.

It’s noon in October and I’m glancing out of the window from my house in Bath, looking at the sky. There isn’t a cloud in sight; no good for a landscape shot; there is no drama; no mood. But that’s okay; I’ve been waiting for a day like today for two weeks now; guaranteed light at sunset filtering through the trees of a beech avenue I remember from my childhood. As it turns out the only difficulty with this shot is getting a clear road; a little more patience required; I’m not known for being patient, but when outdoors I guess I’m a different person. I’m using a polarising filter to saturate the autumnal colours. Wth perfect side lighting twenty minutes before sunset, it’s an agonising six second exposure; will a car ruin the magical tranquility of the shot. No. Not this time anyway. Et voila… Technical Details: Aperture – F16.0 / Exposure – 6 Secs / Focal Length – 82 mm / Camera – Canon EOS 40D / Lens – Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0 L USM / Filter – Polariser / Location – Wimborne, Dorset

It was the same lane as one week earlier, with the leaves of the beech-trees just turning a bit more towards their autumn colours. This time I did not even have to wait. Just to get off the bike quickly and into position for shooting these two lovely ladies coming towards me on their beautiful Haflingers. That was a real piece of good luck.

Beech tree etching using Burnt Umber ink and printed onto Sommerset Ivory coloured fine textured etching paper. The copper plate for this etching is A4 size took me 20 / hours to work on it with an etching needle. Each print / takes 1 hour to ink up and polish before printing. This tree seems to have a life of its own and is so / magical. This etching is from a sketch I did in the / Norfolk village of Withersdale Street. BEST VIEWED LARGER ANCIENT PAGAN WISDOM BEECH TREE – PHAGOS – QUEEN OF THE WOODS The Beech tree traditionaly known as the ‘Queen of the / Woods’ beacause / of its beauty and femininity shars its honour with the / Kingly Oak . Local / British traditions associate it with serpents, probably / because of its / serpentine root system, which are revealed by soil / erosion when they / are planted on hills or slopes. Behind this again lurks / the notion of the / wise serpent giving knowledge to those who ask for it. / Several altars to / the beech have been discovered in the French Pyrenees, / suggesting its important to the Celtic tribers who lived / there. It is said that no harm would / ever befall a traveller shelting beneath its branches, while / prayers uttered / in its shade were bound to be answered, just as any curse / spoken there / was said to be more effective. Slivers of beech wood and / leaves were once carried as talismans to bring good luck / and increase creative energy. / Wishes carved on beech wood wands which were / subsequently buried in / the earth, were said tto be particularly effective and, as the / wood rotted / away in the earth, the wish was released to bear fruit in the / outer world. / Thin leaves of beechwood are said to have been bound / together to form / the first book, which is ceretainly in line with its central / association with / writing and the transmission of lore. The Anglo-Saxon word / for ‘beech’ / was bok (which became book), in German Buche is ‘beech / and Buche us ‘book’, While the Swedish word ‘bok’ means / both ‘book’ and ‘beech’.
