Trees are magnificent beings, vast organisms which reach above and below ground and evade capture by lens. They never ask for identification or check your temperature. They simply offer whatever they have to whoever wishes to use or misuse it: fruit and nuts, shade and shelter, wood for fire and building, nests and hollows for homes.

Trees are amazing and although I can't get enough of them, I find it rather difficult to photograph them in a satisfactory manner and I'm still working it out! But I reckon I've taken enough photographs of trees over the past few years to put a collection together for the HSI library.

Here you will find sections of trees, views of trees, shadows of trees, shapes of trees, stumps of trees. But TREE itself - that Nurturer of Nature, nowhere to be seen and yet everywhere - aha, that is the mystery!

21 Photos of tree-like subjects :D. Each image has been sized to a width of 2000px at 72dpi.
