BERIGAN Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Actually, it is more than one tree! Shape of the tree(s) was even better last year, God I am lazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Dude, I can fix it. Seriously, it is a nice looking tree for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man with the Golden Arm Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 In my mind's eye I'm using BERIGAN's avatar and the tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Burke Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 (edited) I took this while trying to capture a very rare snowfall here in Austin. As it turns out, the flakes were so big and fell so slowly that the tree looks like it's floating in space. NOTE: It looks much better when not condensed to 72 dpi but....whatever right.

You know, I thought you were pulling my leg, and that was some photo of outer space, like from Hubble...it's a great photo, but where is the tree????

Brandon Burke Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Okay..... Well, assuming you aren't kidding, the trunk begins at the bottom of the image, just barely left of center. From there, the trunk goes up at about a "one o'clock" angle. The branches spread in all directions from there with the largest branches pointing to about "ten o'clock". I hope that makes sense.

Perhaps you see better in the dark than I do! Or my old computer monitor doesn't have enough brightness..anyone else having trouble seeing the tree? I do see the darkness, if that makes sense...

A Lark Ascending Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 (edited) You call that a tree? This is a tree. Just a few miles from here. You can have all sorts of fun with it: Go here and you can take a tour of the hole inside: http://www.bbc.co.uk/nottingham/360/where_..._interior.shtml Needless to say there are plenty of local rumours that Robin Hood and his Merry Dudes used to hide in it (personally I believe they just used it to hang out their tights to dry): Edited April 7, 2004 by Bev Stapleton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Brandon's pulling your leg, Berigan. That's the famous Hubble photograph of the Tree Nebula, located in the summer sky in the constellation Abboreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
