[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my favourite tree, and I have photographed it many many times, during all seasons and all times of the day!

Not only because it is a fine old tree but also because it grows right in front of my house!

Many years ago the lot used to host a farm, and the farmer kept the tradition of having a yard tree. When the farm was demolished and replaced by appartment houses they luckily left the yard tree…

Hi Pablo

nice Tree and best colours but i like see top of tree . TFS

best regards

Hello Pablo

Lovely capture here, good colour and detail and a nice POV. Funny how nature manages to stand firm in the site of progression (sometimes anyway)

We have some building work starting soon in the area where we live, luckily the council have put a preservation order on some of the trees so they are safe from the bulldozers.

TFS regards Helen

Another great work Pablo. It is well composed. What I like here is the presence of the three white chairs. It just breaks the color nicely. TFS.

Very nice work, a beautiful capture of a picturesque tree. Lovely colours and details, perfect composition with the three white chairs towards the lower left.

Hi Pablo

I see Fall is approaching already in Norway, with superb golden colours of the tree. Fantastic sharpness & compo. The 3 white chairs at left add interest. Tfs!

Hello Pablo,
it is good to have a favourite tree nearby - isn't it.
Your post made me a bit scary because i thought you took it in 2007 - but autumn hasn't yet arrived so far at you place - I hope. Lovely colours and great sharpness in your favourite tree photograph. TFS
Have a great day, Thomas

excellent composition and colors...
Greetings,

It's a beautiful picture of Autumn. I love colours of Autmn.
When I first looked at the photograph, I thought it would have been much better to have only one chair to reflect a feeling of loneliness and having been left, but, then I looked a bit more and I felt the joy of having two people accompanying me. You see, your photo inspires so many things :) TFS

Hi Pablo,
An excellent choice for a FAVORITE tree- beautiful setting and the chairs add value ! TFS Julie

Beautiful autumn scene, I like the three chairs that suggest some kind of absence..the absence of the summer that has ended, the absence of the holidays...Original and effective compo.

For one long moment I thought that the fall had already reached you. But I am glad to see that this is from your archives.
Superb colours and textures, outstanding composition. I look forward to seeing how this tree looks later this year

Hi Pablo,
Please don't tell me that you put the three chairs down there on purpose. If you did it..very cleaver. If you didn't..lucky you, an other photo for your theme.
I can understand the love for this tree. It has a wonderful shape and looks very healty. It is great to see that fall has started north of me. It normally means that it will take another 2 to 3 weeks before it will start here as well.
TFS,
Niek

No wonder you like this tree, is gorgeous. The fall colours add a great mood to this image. It remind me that skiing season is soon to be here. Good sharpness and perspective with the white chairs creating a nice contrast. This is beautiful Pablo. Thanks.

I like your tree too. Beautiful colors in October. Probably will start turning again soon. Well composed and the chairs are a nice touch.

We are off on a ten day photographic road trip tomorrow morning through Nevada, Arizona Utah, and Colorado. Should be great fun and many images for posting.

See you in a while

Hi Pablo, wonderful tree with splendid colors, great composition, very well done, ciao Silvio

You are conjuring up Fall (with pic from last year), but it seems to be upon us quickly again. Some of our trees are already turning, and your tree will soon be this color again.
Perhaps a follow-up post?

Hello pablo,
Oh and what a grand tree it is too! I'm so glad no one cut it down! Old trees have such great character and you can't help but think...if they could only talk and tell us how they've seen the world...the changes they've seen ..the adventures if only by sitting in one spot and watching the world go by!
Its a beautiful shot, and do like your continuing quest for the 3 of a kind..:o)

Hi Pablo,
Interesting see that the trees in Norway are alreading shedding leaves. The colour changes have not started here in Canada yet.

What a space, what a tree Pablo - so October is a great month to see the beautiful colours of autumn. You know what - I'm longing for a chance in the seasons - it really is not such a bad thing.
So you were gathering chairs to get your threesome again ^-^,

Hi Pablo,

This is a great shot. I like the colors and the chairs relly help to show the magnitude of the tree and to make it interesting. Maybe you used to much sharpening.
