[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Independence, full of life, peace and harmony with surrounding, struggling. Symbolic. World at my feet below 2400m.

Dedicated for all TL members who shared your world and photography techniques and helping me learn something through every one of your photos, a close up of a natural live branch at 2400m ASL (Mesilau Trail, Mount Kinabalu) to a misty fog background. To those of you who really take more time in your useful critiques to help me find what I normally do not see. Thank you for SHARING.

(USA for Africa) We are the world - lyrics

There comes a time, when we hear a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth you know
Love is all we need

chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free.
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

Hi Bill,
This minimalism renders all the nobility and the obstinacy of this tree living at this altitude.
A true paradox considering its vulnerability and also its force!
Simply beautiful! Bravo and thanks for your note too! Annie

Hi Bill,

i bet you must like this shot & posting very much, so much so you don't want anything else to be part of it...not even your precious signature...:) or was it gone unseen in the mist...:)

the solitary tree & the BG really make this picture perfect!

Hi Bill,
What Agoes wrote was truly what I am thinking of this post. Really simplified, not even your signature. Just the tree, in a very nice framing. Lovely to see, and in a way very meaningful - especially with the words in your note. Thoughtful indeed. Thanks to you too, for always giving encouragements and good c&c to me and others in this community.

All the best,
Ramdan.

This is so minimal, so stark - very simple and very zen. I like the delivery, I like the sharpness and light.

Hello Bill,
