Thematic Photographic: Favourite shots

Carmi over at Written Inc has once again suggested that we finish off the year 
with some of the pictures we've liked most of the ones we've taken in 2011, 
whether we've already posted them or not.

Here's my first pick; I took it only a week ago, on a walk on the Tunnel Loop track 
through the Karangahake Gorge. 
I like it because of the textures and the shapes:


I'm looking forward to seeing other people's choices :)

  1. That looks like a hobbit should be emerging somewhere. :)

  3. I;m not surprised this is a favourite shot. I love seeing anything growing in/around rocks, and the shapes of these roots around the rocks are stunning. The hard and the fluid together.

  4. Great picture - the close up of the roots growing out and around the rocks. Nice! and I agree with Lisa about the hobbitesque feel of the picture.

  5. That tree is really hanging on for dear life isn't it? Or it is strangling the rocks.
    A very, very powerful shot and haunting shot. Thank you.

    I suspected as much!
