CHERRY TREE BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

avatar
(Edited)

It's a tree that grows by the side of a dusty unpaved road, one of the roads that lead through the coastal area called Palera, only a kilometer or little more from the village of Liznjan, and four or five kilometers from where I live.

(Enlargeable)

I encounter that tree very often becouse Palera isn't far and I like the place a lot but only a couple of hours ago I decided to create an entire post about it.

(Enlargeable)

All the photographs I'm presenting here were taken on the 9th of October.

My area was still pretty early in autumn back then.

(Enlargeable)

Some of the leaves were still green, others were red or in various stages in between those two colors.

(Enlargeable)

The cherry tree looked great in that period.

The surrounding vegetation was also very photogenic. Here you can see the partially dry fern surrounded by green shrubs.

(Enlargeable)

The blackberry shrubs (Rubus ulmifolius) still had fruits to offer. In the following photograph ...

(Enlargeable)

... I zoomed in on the beautiful red berries. The ripe fruits are black, meaning the berries shown in this and the previous photograph look much better than they taste.

(Enlargeable)

You can see the fern photographed in two, slightly different ways in these two photographs. I mean, the exposure was different.
The scientific name of this particular fern is Pteridium aquilinum.

(Enlargeable)

The scientific name of the cherry tree is Prunus avium.

(Enlargeable)

Here you can take a look up the road that leads toward the decaying watchtower in the middle of an area that was once part of a military base. At one point, while I was photographing the road ...

(Enlargeable)

... a lady on a bicycle entered the scene.

(Enlargeable)

The Rosa sempervirens plant was growing along the trunk of the tree.

Rosa sempervirens is a species of evergreen wild rose that grows as a climbing plant.

The always-green leaves and a multitude of red fruits look great together in autumn. The flowers are white.

Here you can take another more up-close look at the rose hips.

(Enlargeable)

The vegetation around the tree was pretty exuberant. I used the flash for the photograph on the left. The photograph on the right shows the same scene in ambient light. The exposure was longer.

(Enlargeable)

I was standing under the cherry tree when I took this photograph. You can see one of the branches, the road, and the friend who was there with me.

Some of these beautiful red leaves would fall in the following days.

Others were already on the ground on the 9th of October.

Since I had the macro lens with me ...

(Enlargeable)

... I was able to explore the amazing little details and textures of those fallen leaves.

Here you can take another look up the road that leads to the watchtower and beyond. In the following photograph...

(Enlargeable)

... you can see a car passing through the scene.

(Enlargeable)

In the foreground of this shot, you can see two young cherry saplings with the potential to become trees one day.

(Enlargeable)

At one point, as the sun was slowly descending ...

... I noticed that the light near the end of the day illuminated a swarm of flying insects in a very beautiful way.

(Enlargeable)

In this tryptich, you can see three portraits of fallen leaves taken twenty minutes before sunset.

(Enlargeable)

On the way back home, I stopped for a couple of minutes in the parking lot near the football field of the small Football Club Liznjan situated on the outskirts of the village...

(Enlargeable)

... to watch the sun going down.

The next stop was in the harbor of Medulin, my hometown.

(Enlargeable)

The incandescent disc of the sun had reached the tops of the pines across the bay when I prepared the camera to get this photograph.

(Enlargeable)

I followed the sun like I'll never see it again.

At one point, a crow flew across the scene.

The boats in the harbor were motionless. The sea was a liquid mirror.

(Enlargeable)

It was time to go home.

AND THAT'S IT. AS ALWAYS HERE ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY WORK - THE END.

Quite a wild area with nature still intact. Would be nice for cycling around to explore the place and take photos. You’re so lucky to have both the wild area and coastal beauty. I would watch the sunset, with a glass of wine very often if I were by the sea!

The shots with the flying insect illuminated with the sunrays are amazing. Looks so dreamy.
Maybe the lady with the bike uses the watchtower often, so she checked on you when she spotted you wandering around the area isn't it? !LOLZ

🙂 The watchtower can't be climbed anymore becouse its stairway is in bad shape. It's very dangerous. Many sharp rusted pieces can cut anyone who tries to climb the tower.

It's still so vibrant there. Snow doesn't fall there? The sun photos are so stunning.

At first I was caught with surprise why some leaves will be green while others will be red

Oh my friend, I have missed reading your post, I've been so busy and hopefully, after this week I should get back on here fully, these are amazing shots and one thing that is common among all the shots is the orange colour, it keeps popping in each of the photos and made it even more beautiful. How are you?

Good. 🙂 Relatively good, thanks for asking. There is always something entertaining happening with the cats around me so the winter is less boring than it could be.

Picture in which you captured both sunset and flying bird, it's epic, like that bird is about to land on the top of the sun.

Yes 😃 it really looks like the bird could sit on the sun and sink with it behind the horizon.
