Towering Birch

Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 24 March 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

I thought I'd give you a different view of the birch.
The tree is quite big and I really couldn't get a full view that I felt did it justice!!

I have uploaded some of my favorite images to redbubble for sale http://www.redbubble.com/people/jenseye
Please go check it out and if there is something you like in my portfolioi here on Am3 that isn't posted on redbubble please let me know and I can upload for purchase. Thank you!

So that's the tree you've been photographing! I love this point of view a lot. It gives a majestic perspective to the tree. and the blue sky is just amazingly saturated. Well done Jen!

The leafy bark and stark tangle of branches are a nice contrast of textures. I like this one best because the added element of scale really gives the sense of life about to burst out.

@Ken McCoy: I can't wait for the leaves to appear! I'll post another one then! Come on Spring!
Thanks for the visits Ken!

@Suby: Hi Suby: I left the building in because it's the top of a third story house, I thought it gave a better perspective at how tall the tree really is.
Thank you for your visit!
