Thanks! but i dont see the difference on my crappy notebook.. 1 i need a set of glasses(i have been ignoring my loss of eyesight the last years) 2 Need to get to a good screen.. 3 I need more knowledge I suspect it's about the ISO settings i always fiddle with. I'll do so research. Thanks for the critique! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Great trees they are, particularly the red which is one of my favourite trees for a specimen tree in a garden . What i was referring to was the tangled vine that Candypants posted , or is it not a vine but an canopy of a tree. Looks like a very old vine to me. . .It is a great photo wither way and especially dramatic in black and white.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

OK well hard to say on CP's pic could be a tangle branches, of just about anything! Bougainvilleas can be very mean when one has to cut or prune them, with the spikes on the branches FF's pic post # 61 is a Flame tree too... Link to post Share on other sites

Or else it will jump out in front of somebody when they are driving home at night after the karoke. Great photos DL. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
rene123 1304 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 There is a giant tree at the Gymkana golf club in Chiang Mai that is a real beauty. Its huge limbs stretch way out to either side.There is also a giant fig tree at the top of Doi Sutthep above the temple. Its above ground root system is about 4 or 5 metres wide and comes together about 5 metres above the ground.. Link to post Share on other sites

The fig at the temple could be a ficus religiosa or the Bo Tree which is the same tree Buddha sat under when he attained enlightenment. They are often found in templesand are often very big.

Are you able to take a photo for us Rene? For the past 8 months I was using a borrowed computer where I could post on topics but not show pictures. Today I have my own new laptop and can now download all the pictures I've been saving on back up flashcards. Hopefully, in the near future I'll be able to contribute to this forum.
