Lonely Tree

There are a number of islets in San Pablo Bay with native trees and shrubs that seem to defy how they can survive with only seasonal rainfall. Leica M9 90mm f2.8

nice light.

BTW, if you feel like it, you can post larger sized images (the better to see the incredible resolution of the M9 and Leitz lenses :) )

Warren, I thought we were limited to 800 pixels on the long side? What are you posting at?

hi Dan, I'm posting at 900 pixels on the long side, but I told Joe that he may post larger if he has to. His workflow is not set up to output smaller files, so I told him it's okay to post whatever size he can do.

The 800 pixels was because in years past, our monitor resolutions and browser technology made it a pain to see the entire picture. But now with automatic resizing and higher res monitors that everyone seems to have, it's really okay to post larger pics.

I used to always use 750 pixels, but I recently changed to 900 pixels.

Dan,

It is amazing that the tree is able to grow in that environment. In florida we have lots of islands with trees, but the rain fall supports the trees. I find it interesting that that tree continues to grow in all the salt water.

I like the picture, the deep blue color of the water and the browns of the island and trees are very nice.
