I'm thinking that Botany Photo of the Day really needs more Acer circinatum photographs; these aren't enough: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Photography resource link: I should admit that I've only just recently discovered Eliot Porter, but I now have “In Wildness is the Preservation of the World” (selected images) and “Nature's Chaos” in my library (thank you, used book stores!). Yesterday's image was taken with his works in mind, i.e., attempting to photograph a complicated, messy landscape in a manner that retains the chaos, but not so much as to be unpleasant.
Gorgeous photograph, Daniel! Very Porteresque. I love the inclined planes of the leaves joining the wild flight of the waters. The saturated colors and the 'just right' blurring evokes the rushing, kinetic vitality perfectly.
hi beautiful this photo ,i read that American Native use the wood of this acer for fishing,i have this acer in my garden ,but i not seen this rich coulor!!!very nice
I agree 100% One can never have too many photos of this beautiful maple!
thank you for the autum pictures
fall is different in west central florida
gold and pink fluff on top of the trees
then the leaves turn green
the picture is similar to a chinese
brush painting is it not
the photograph today is wonderful especially with the back ground colour too.
The Sugar Maples in western Massachusetts are just turning now and are so colourful.
Falls foliage is a delight to see.
Thank you,
Margaret-Rae
A great photograph. The dying leaves over the moving water makes a striking image as well as reminding us that our lives too are constantly changing on as we pass though Life's seasons. The expiring leaves foretell a period of a few weeks of visible rest followed by rebirth and renewal.
Outstanding image, Daniel!
I commented that your BPOD for November 25, 2006, of the BC Native Garden reminded me of Eliot Porter. Actually a lot more than this one.
