A symbol on my Birthday - May 13

Treklens, we are here in the Island Crete, a walk from the Cruise ship ..to the local bus stop.
Aim:The Minoan Palace of Knossos, discovered by Professor Sir Arthur Evans

He began his systematic excavation in 1900, when the island had now been declared an independent State.

He visited Crete for the first time in 1894 in order to study and decipher the unknown script that could be made out on seal stones.

A year later he published the results in Cretan Pictographs and Prae-Phoenician Script.

Later more postings about Knossos ...

At the Bus station my eye (and lens after me) got caught by this almost symbolic Tree stump! (No words needed)


Thank you for the pop-in Folks

Hi John,
Hoe zat het ook alweer met die stier en Knossos?
Dus jij bent ook een stier.
Goed, we hebben het over foto's. Heerlijk dat sommige bomen zich gewoon niet klein laten krijgen.
Lovely way to show us the resilience of nature.

Lovely colours in this wonderful symbolic image.

Did I miss a birthday? Please confirm John. I find it amazing how a tree can be so savagely pruned, split by lightning or burnt and still come up thriving. Good colour and wonderful detail. TFS,
Dave

Hello Johhny,

Hello John
Very nice composition with beautiful colors and lights.
it's a good symbol of the capacity of nature/life to renew itself.
Well done

Sjee Sjonnie... ook al een stier!
Da's heel bekend voor mij hoor... :-)

Wonderlijk he, dat sommige bomen zomaar gewoon verder groeien op een stompje stam. Echt heel apart, die overlevingsdrang. Prachtige kleuren en compositie.

Gr.,
Anneke

Hi Bro, very good note on this very nice image of Greece, not the usual image that we see of Greece. But a great one, nice colours, well captured. Good pov.

Hoi John
Prachtige opname , een echte PS CS 2 photo :-) Heel goed.
Alles ok met jullie? Groetjes uit Z'meer

Very nice picture. Tamaris, great tree.

Hi John,

Seems the tree is freshly cut. Simple object, but great meaning. It is a new life indeed. Lovely composed. Those branches and the leafs are really nice to see in different color.
I like the note from Mark Twain, remind me of JFK's statement.

Tfs,
