| Bald Cypresses and Spanish Moss, Magnolia Gardens, Charleston, SC © Doug Hickok All Rights Reserved Wispy clusters of Spanish Moss dangle from a row of bald cypresses reflected in a garden pond. You can see why this mossy epiphyte is sometimes called "old man's beard". I hope if I ever live to be ancient, that I can grow such a beard... like Rip Van Winkle. |

ReplyDeleteYou know, we do have old man's beard, a type of climbing plant, in England.
But no Spanish moss.
Does Kate Moss count?
This is absolutely exquisite. Very fine reflections.

ReplyDeleteExcellent shot and fantastic choice in post Doug--love this infrared feel--it works perfectly.
ReplyDeleteeerie looking "bearded" faces and reflections ... like from a gothic tale ...
ReplyDelete(is this infrared ?!?)
Hi Franz! Although it looks like infrared, it is only a straight black and white image, with some green filtration (which lightened-up the plants growing by the water in the lower left). The moss is frosty looking in person, and it contrasts strongly with the deep black water of the pond.
DeleteWhat a picture of tranquility. Beautifully done.
ReplyDeletefascinating b/w perfect in its totality
ReplyDeleteBeautiful BW! It works so well with this view!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
très belle composition.
