As I process some images of my cypress trees I will post them here to show these majestic trees in their environment. There is a surreal quality about these old giant trees standing alone out in the water. Their trunks are split open and their top broken by lightning, but yet they stand there for hundreds of years. Being in around them evokes a sense of peace and quiet in me.
In the southern part of the US cypress trees are by far my favorite tree. Can't get enough of them. Will never forget the feeling of being in a cathedral the day we stumbled upon Heron Pond, in the Shawnee National Forest in southern IL. Awesome place. Light streaming through the trees, water covered in duck week, looked like a grassy parkland.
