A friend was nominated a friend for a FB exercise; post a nature pic for the next seven days and nominate a friend to do the same. Should the nominated friend take up the exercise, they are to nominate a friend, and so on and so on.
Thus, I'm participating in a FB exercise to post a nature pic for seven days. The above photo is day two of the exercise. I posted this: The beauty and majesty of trees make me swoon. Over the next few days there may be more trees. with the photo.
Looking through my current stock of nature photos, I observed that many include buildings. Well, I do live in a very urban area. But, even as I've traveled to or through scenic areas, the photos tend to include people, animals, or buildings--making those things the focus--over the scenery.
Observation: a focus shift may be in the works.

Great observation. While I love the composition of your shot here, and the lamp post and building fit well with the trees, I thinks it's a good idea to shift your focus. Always nice to change things up a bit.
ReplyDeleteTank you. A little change is good. Yes.
DeleteI love when trees look like they're reaching towards each other. Pretty photo.
ReplyDeleteThank you. There are a few groupings (especially now, with so many in various stages of bloom, that are reaching, caressing.
DeleteI have to go out without the pooch, though, to settle in for certain shots. ;-)
I am looking forward to all of them. I like the asymmetry of this shot. You are really forcing us to see the trees. And, as illustr8d.com says above, they really are reaching towards each other.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think I shall go back to the block and take the shot from across the street. See what I see. :-)
DeleteI, very on purpose, gravitate to places without people or buildings, although I love seeing the contrast of nature in urban settings. (I wonder why the tree on the left is so un-balanced?) I hope you will consider posting all your entries here.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I love about the small village I live in (and the big city we neighbor) is the dedication to green spaces. Chicago boasts some fantastic parks--a plus I don't take as much time to honor as I would like.
DeleteI have considered. :-)
I love trees. I love them in forests and I love them in cities. I'm glad you are featuring them in your city because they are so important in the urban environment. City trees save lives!

!! I'm glad my hometown and the town I call home now, take trees seriously. !!
DeleteWhat a great idea. Focusing on nature is supposed to be great for our health too, so that's a bonus. I might copy this idea.
ReplyDeleteFeel free. It has been nice to see each person's interpretation and nature shots. Most have a nice memory or life experience attached. Quite eye-opening.
DeleteAnd a nice change from the usual kind of postings. :-)
Interesting observation. I wonder what my photo library would reveal if I look back on it. I would guess the scenery takes second place to people/objects/buildings.
ReplyDeleteThere have been phases. Of course, I captured the scenes of each child's growth and special events. But, when out and about . . ? I lost a camera (and memory card) some years ago that held a bunch of what I call, "artsy" shots. This excercise made me think about that and what those were about.
DeleteI really like this photo. Even with the building and lamp post, nature is definitely the star.
ReplyDeleteCan't go too far off with trees and clear, blue skies. :-)
DeleteThank you.
The photo is beautiful, and I love where the lamp post falls. Trees make me happy, too. Interesting observation about the nature coming in second to the infrastructure (if that's the right word for it)...
