A Personal Photo Challenge - Trees - Petrified Tree Trunks - Tywyn


































































This month the subject for A Personal Photo Challenge is '''Trees'.  I have chosen to share a couple of photos that I took earlier this week of some Petrified Wood that is part of the Ancient Forest exposed on the beach here in Tywyn, which I wrote about on Travel Tales back in March 2014.

 If you find my Travel Tales blog of interest,please consider becoming a follower. Leave me a message and I will follow you back as I enjoy interacting via blogging with others from around the world.

    What a neat idea for subject matter! The contorted shape and texture are so interesting. Beautiful lighting and shadows also compliment the compositions. Lovely! Thank you for joining in the challenge this month!

    The light was good for photography at the beginning of the week. I like the textures and the little tufts of lime green weed.

    Beautiful petrified wood! I first saw petrified wood as a child when visiting New Mexico, it is certainly an interesting subject. With the water and sand in your photos, all the better. :)

    In the last, it looks like a giant cat sleeping in the water, which would be a very odd thing indeed. Wonderful photos capturing the gnarled, ancient tree. Very intriguing!

    Very interesting, although I feel a sadness for the grand tree it once was.

    Such an interesting photo with this piece and the water and sand. This beautiful piece of old wood looks like a sculpture belonging in a museum. I like it best here on the beach but it will probably be washed away!

Welcome to my photography blog, where I share the world as seen through my lens. All commenter's will receive a visit back from me but no longer individual replies unless you have a question, which I will respond to here. Your praise and kind words are always appreciated but to keep saying thankyou to you all individually, in an original way is not easy. So I am saying it here instead, a massive thankyou from my heart for all the wonderful support, your comments are a great encouragement to me.
