Two trees that stood out from a small (pretty chaotic) woodland. I liked how the branches were emphasized by the snow and tried to carve them out with a long lense.

Chaotic woodland in winter. Most branches and ground are covered by snow. Two larger trees stand out, their dark nicely formed branches being emphasized by the snow on them.

A few B&W phone shots from a slightly drizzly walk above Berkhamsted today.

#iphone15pro #localphotography #blackandwhite
Big tree silhouetted with some smaller ones behind. A view from under some low branches into a field with some trees dotted along the valley. B&W view along a canal with some boats on the left and trees on the right bank. Some remaining beech leaves cling to trees in a wood.

A piece of thin ice on the surface of the Grand Union Canal last weekend, with the water sloshing around it.

A triangular piece of thin ice on the surface of a canal. There are some trees and sky reflected and there is movement giving some ripples and swirls.

Two trees I love at the edge of Northchurch Common, seen this morning.

#Berkhamsted #CanonR5markii #LocalPhotography
A portrait orientation photo of an apple tree, zoomed in, showing lots of curved branches, some covered in moss, with lots of apples remaining at the top, which are yellow and red. A white-barked willow tree with no leaves, with two trunks creating an elongated diamond-shape. Various leafless limbs coming off it. Below are red ferns, behind are some bushes and trees.

More trees in fog photos? Why not!

#Berkhamsted #AwesomeFoursome #LocalPhotography #CanonR5markii
Trees in fog, with brambles and ferns. Some of the trees have ivy climbing up them. Large tree with lots of trunks, in fog. Ferns below. Lots of tall trees with crusty white bark. Lots of mist. Lots of trees in fog, with quite a few of them covered densely in ivy. Brown ferns below.

Glad I was WFH today - was able to nip up to the local common to take a few photos of the fog at lunchtime :) Here's a small selection.

Northchurch Common, #Berkhamsted

#LocalPhotography #CanonR5markii #AwesomeFoursome
Tree with ridiculous amount of branches in the fog. Possibly an oak. A selection of trees with trunks going all over the place. Some are covered in ivy. Some marcescent leaves showing in the background. Foggy! Two trees in fog. The one on the left has one thick trunk with a bit of green vegetation on it, the one on the left is split in two and has some white bark. Foggy scene, with some brown ferns on the ground. Detail of a tree with ridiculous amount of branches draping down towards the ground. A bit foggy.

Dark cloudy sky with a thin gap that shows the full moon shortly before setting. The sun has almost risen, giving the sky behind the moon a beautiful violet tone. In the foreground a snow covered landscape with gentle hills is seen, and a narrow road leads into the background.

There are always grey herons along the canal. They are strange birds, not known for being very nice... but I like to see and photograph them.

#birdphotography #berkhamsted #grandunioncanal #localphotography #canon
A grey heron with a large amount of black feathers, including behind its eye, perches on a branch with its neck hidden. Looks hunched. A paler grey heron on a fir tree extending its neck to look at something below.

I've always had a thing about tree reflections in moving water - the Grand Union Canal in #Berkhamsted provides ample opportunities to photograph them! Particularly nice at sunrise, like this morning :)

#CanonR6markii #localphotography #abstract
Trees at sunrise reflected in slightly moving water, making some interesting almost-circular patterns. Bare tree reflections in moving water at sunrise. Tree reflections in moving water - all sorts of colours and shapes. Wider angle view of trees reflected in moving water.

Nice way to start the New Year. Hope it's a good omen...

A drone view of some bare winter trees. The sun is about to set and the branches look golden or purple in the light.

Some foggy trees from yesterday morning at Northchurch Common - it was a really lovely morning and hoping for more this weekend. Obviously forecast tomorrow is good too, but I'm working :(

#LocalPhotography #Berkhamsted
Foggy trees with some orange/brown ferns below. There are a couple of errant branches with a handful of leaves remaining, but mostly the trunks and branches are bare.

Last ones for tonight - and more from yesterday morning with the glorious morning sunlight coming through the trees. I really love winter more than any other season :)

Northchurch Common, #Berkhamsted #CanonR5ii #LocalPhotography
Warm sunlight filtering through trees; dying ferns below, and some last remaining leaves and berries visible. Sun filters through some bare trunked trees, although one has a branch with some remaining leaves that are backlit. The forest floor is covered in ferns and ivy, and soft light bathes the scene.

Morning light streams through trees onto frosty ferns below. At Northchurch Common this morning.

#CanonR5ii #LocalPhotography #Berko
There is a triangle of sunlight coming down from the top of the photo. Trees on either side and frosty ferns beneath. The light is in shafts as it's filtered through branches.

Magical morning up at a nearby common - touch of frost, touch of fog, and eventually a touch of sunshine. Fell in love with a new tree 🌳💚

#NorthchurchCommon #LocalPhotography #CanonR5ii
A massive broken apple tree in a forest, with some light fog behind. At the top of the tree are some yellow and red apples, and below are some orange ferns.

October highlights... also from the wonderful local Hockeridge Woods. The mushrooms were incredible, but so were the trees. It's so lovely to spend time in forests, especially when they're a 15 minute walk from your new house :)

#Berko #LocalPhotography #AwesomeFoursome
Large grey beech trees - looking a bit like elephant legs, with autumnal leaves around and a floor of orange fallen leaves. Porcelain fungi on a dead branch with blurred yellow/green bokeh background. Amazing gills highlighted as they're backlit. A lone tiny mushroom with a small pale brown cap. It's surrounded by blurred red leaf litter. Large fir trees with ferns in front. There are some trees in the distance with some light fog.

Another misty woodland scene from the same day as my last post.

Sunlight rays shining into the mist in a woodland. Three trees in the foreground are only seen as vertical silhouette pillars with a few branches catching direct light almost "glowing". Background woods are vanishing in the mist.

I didn’t take my big camera out once in August, so my selected photos are from local walks in the Grand Union Canal and countryside around Berkhamsted with the iPhone.

#iPhone15Pro #localphotography #berko #chilternhills
Lovely canal scene with a weeping willow in the sun. Golden fields with dramatic clouds and blue sky above A large tree sits on top of a field of thistles with small trees around, the sky has the colours just after sunset The canal again with a dramatic sunset in the distance. There are pretty narrow canal boats and the weeping willow again.

I was out with the big camera again in September, having discovered an amazing woodland nearby (Hockeridge), which has redwoods! Had no idea they grew outside of California, but here they are. The mushrooms were beginning to appear, but not too many around yet.

#LocalPhotography #Berko
Shafts of sunlight through the trees pouring onto ferns below, some of which are turning orange. A fly agaric (red spotty) mushroom on the forest floor, with some leaf litter, ferns and bramble leaves around it. An avenue of Sequoiadendron giganteum (or Wellingtonia, or giant redwoods), with some dappled sunlight coming through. The path below them is covered in brown pine needles and there are green ferns at the base of the trees. Sun illuminates some green beech leaves from behind, between tall trunks.

More lovely silver birch and their remaining golden leaves.

#NorthchurchCommon #LocalPhotography #CanonR6II
Lots of vertical silver birch trees with pale trunks and a smattering of remaining golden yellow leaves and some small brown twigs.

This is probably my favourite time of year - as autumn gives way to winter. Absolutely stunning morning up on a common a short drive away. So many beautiful trees everywhere!

Little break from the Iceland photos...

Back in my local woods today, with a touch of fog. Such a lovely place :)

Not really landscape images this time, yet the foggy conditions here 2 weeks ago were very interesting for a photographer.

Lonely big birch tree in heavy fog. On the right side a road and a fence lead along the tree and get lost in the fog. The backside of a farm covered in heavy fog, which gives the scene a look of a lost place.
