Harp Pine
Comity Pine. It has many big and small trunks.

Billy, for the bell pictures, do you mean that the second picture is the first bell's "replacement?"

A "reproduction" is supposed to look exactly like the original, and that second bell doesn't look very much like the first.

As always, wonderful pictures!

Very nice! The trees are like bonsai without pots!

Welcome back Billy, we've missed you!

Clodfobble · 06-08-2005, 01:59 PM

The "Seeing Off" pine is my favorite.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-08-2005, 11:36 PM

I agree......seeing off.
But the Comity (committee?) pine intrigues me.
Nice pictures Billy, thanks.

wolf · 06-09-2005, 01:33 AM

Without checking a dictionary, I think Comity means friendship or community togetherness?

wolf · 06-09-2005, 01:34 AM

Social Harmony.

For some reason I'm reminded of that episode of The Prisoner where Number 6 is declared unmutual.

You're used to relatively young granite, els. I forget all the numbers, but the upthrusts in China occurred way before the Rockies.

Of course, the Chinese rock could be basalt or something like that.

I love the lyrical nature of the names given to these features. In America, our names don't mean shit.

Happy Monkey · 06-12-2005, 01:13 PM

I like landscape photos much more than portraits.

Your landscapes are beautiful Billy - keep up the good work.

wolf · 06-12-2005, 06:20 PM

There are different reasons to take pictures, Billy. Some to show that you were at a place, and also pictures with and of your friends on the trip, are certainly fine ... but many of the best memories of a trip is of what you saw there. By taking these pictures you have memories of them, and you are also allowing us to see what you thought to be beautiful or interesting or even funny.

I like your pictures just fine!!

Oriental tourists, particularly the Japs, take millions of pictures of themselves and their travel companions in front of attractions worldwide. I've seen them set up a tripod and set the camera timer then run around in front and pose, countless times, if traveling alone. I guess it's a cultural tradition.

I've taken thousands of pictures of scenery and man made attractions with no people in them. Often I had to work at it and be very patient but I think it's worth it. Your pictures are great, Billy!

Happy Monkey · 06-12-2005, 08:46 PM

I often will wait for quite a while to get a shot with no people in it.
