A famous view of Oak Alley Plantation in which I have included the fence and gate just a bit.
a landscape suffused with organic, natural growth, / yet guided by the human instinct for industry. / a young plantation with imposed regularity, / reaching towards adolescence, / rebels with ragged undergrowth. / Subject to the wind and weather, / it carries the wound of fallen trees as a badge of its maturity

I am constantly searching for the SPIRIT of trees and forests and have found that I am drawn to the mystical in my subjects. They speak to me and challenge me to hear their stories and capture the ethereal rather than the absolute concrete. Using my camera as a brush on the forest palette of greens, browns, reds, ambers, yellows, grays, blues and purples I create my images in camera capturing a moment in time when I have stopped to listen and share the sylvan secrets offered to me. Here a group of pines, planted in rows along a country road offers up their story, through a visual whisper.

The brick walkway leading to this lovely home reminds me of a welcome mat rolled out to guests that are weary and in need of some good old-fashioned hospitality. That’s why I took the photo from this angle. Hope you like it. But there’s more to this story . . . The original photo of this charming old mansion in the Deep South was enhanced by my good pal Maria Dryfhout from Michigan. Like a fairy godmother, Maria waved her magic wand over the image and VOILA! Isn’t it grand? Thanks a million, Maria! View Maria’s Gallery here I’d like to dedicate this image to two people, Maria, who did such a beautiful job on my original photo, and Carol, my dear friend who is from St. Francisville where this house is located. This one’s for the two of you girls!

One of the small buildings in the grounds of Oceania House, Cocos Islands. Now privately owned, the property was home to several generations of the Clunies-Ross family, who initiated the trade of coconuts, coconut oil and copra. The plantations were worked by the Cocos-Malay people who remain a unique, isolated community For enquires about canvas prints, or photographic prints larger than Redbubble options, please contact me via bubblemail
This home never fails to capture my heart. It is in Hana, Maui, and I often purchase bananas from a small table set up out front. As Maui continues to grow and over-populate, I feel sad that we are losing beautiful plantation-era homes like this one—to be replaced by multi-million dollar villas (who’s owners will not need to sell their bananas).

A large Plantation home from the old South.
Large Radiata Pines being harvested in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia. Marked with numbers relating to their size and due to be turned into all manner of things…......’Death by Numbers’....... The good news here is that they come from established plantations that will be re established within the next few months ensuring future growth.

One of the best smells in the tropical air is the burning of the sugar cane…. / As a young keiki we would get a stick of sugar cane from Oko when visiting. Sugarcane was introduced to Hawaii by its first inhabitants in approximately 600 AD and was observed by Captain Cook upon arrival in the islands in 1778.[1] Sugar quickly turned into a big business and generated rapid population growth in the islands with 337,000 people immigrating over the span of a century.[2] The sugar grown and processed in Hawaii was shipped primarily to the United States and, in smaller quantities, globally. / / / ORIGINAL AVAILABLE FOR SALE

Misty haunting morning this morning, sitting in a pine plantation at Mt Burr in the Limestone Coast area of South Australia. Last hints of fog lifting as the sun rose towards a clear blue sky. Canon 400D 18-55 lens with ND4 filter. Three shot HDR converted in Photomatix and cropped to size. Damn it was cold!!!!!!!!!!
...about an hour north of New Orleans you start hitting these amazing mansions and plantations, this is the view looking away from the mansion – I found the dual minimal landscape framed by these amazing oaks a cool sight and the tourists played the perfect role.
Out early this morning to watch the sun rise through the fog in a pine plantation at Mt Burr – Limestone Coast South Australia. Certainly worth the cold to see the beauty as the sun tried to force its way into the forest. Natures strength showing the small re-growth forcing its way up amidst the towering trees. Canon 400D 18 – 55 with ND4 filter. Processed in Photoshop CS3.
/ Best viewed large Originally named Bon Sejour, Oak Alley was built in 1837-39 by George Swainey for Jacques Telesphore Roman, brother of Andre Roman who was twice governor of Louisiana. Joseph Pilie, Jacques Telesphore Roman’s father-in-law, was an architect and is thought to have provided the design of Oak Alley. Oak Alley’s most distinguishing architectural feature is a full peripteral (free-standing) colonnade of 28 colossal Doric columns. Such plantation houses were once scattered along the Mississippi valley, though Oak Alley is probably the finest of those remaining. In 1866, Oak Alley was sold at auction to John Armstrong. Several owners followed Armstrong, and by the 1920s, the house was is in a state of deterioration. Andrew and Josephine Stewart purchased the property in 1925 and hired architect Richard Koch to conduct an extensive restoration. The pale pink of the plastered columns and walls and the blue green of the louvered shutters and gallery railing were color choices of Mrs. Stewart at that time. Square in plan, the interior has a central hall from front to rear on both floors. At each end of both halls the doors have broad fanlights and sidelights framed with slim, fluted colonnettes. Rooms at the first floor rear were partitioned and adapted to modern uses at the time of restoration in the 1920s. / credits History of South Eastern Louisiana.

These are actually not poplar trees but the nesting colonies of the sociable weavers in the Kalahari desert. The weaver birds build their nests in high trees or in this case man made poles. The nesting material is harvested by local farmers to be sold as an industrial fire retardant and gets it’s color from the nearby Red dunes This image shows a detail. oil on canvas / 120×80 cm / original sold
I hope you can enjoy the rustic view which exists in this shot I took of our camp house in Mineola! Thanks so much for viewing my portfolio! I appreciate your interest in my work! Smiles Leilani
