#RockinTuesday #ThickTrunkTuesday An oak tree growing from a pile of rocks in the hills of San Luis Obispo. #EastCoastKin #Hiking #ClassicMono #WestCoastKin #OakTree

A large oak tree with several trunks and many branches is growing from a pile of rocks along the ridge of a hill. The Johnson Ranch Trail passes by this tree in the hills of San Luis Obispo, California. Black and white image emphasizes all the textures of the rocks, grasses, and tangled branches of the oak tree.

One of my favorite trees a few days ago: covered with a thin layer of snow and defying gravity: A large oak tree, probably struck by a tank in its youth, has grown horizontally across a meadow from a height of 1.2 meters. In this photograph taken last night (30-second exposure time; hence the bright sky), it is covered with a thin layer of snow that looks like icing.

The same oak tree last spring, covered with delicate, light green leaves. Yellow and white flowers bloom in the meadow.

Will you join me to stand up for justice, liberty, and honour?

A large oak tree alongside a hiking trail is illuminated from the side by the early morning light. The tree is on the edge of a hill with rocks around it. Through the tree, the golden hills and other oak trees in the distance have a golden glow to them. Johnson Ranch Trail in the hills of San Luis Obispo, California

Oak Tree Sunlit Leaves by Joan Stratton - paintingsbyjoan.com

An oak branch stretches across the frame, its leaves catching the light like coins in a fountain. Greens and golds mingle in the foliage, each leaf lit from a different angle, some bold, some fading, all alive. The bark of the Quercus Robur oak is rich with texture, making the leaves pop like stained glass.

It’s a moment of stillness, where light and surface meet in quiet contrast.
This piece draws from the beauty of introduced oaks often found in heritage gardens and cooler southern regions of Australia. The leaves are rendered with warmth and clarity, while the background adds depth and grounding.

Bright green leaves stand out against the textured bark of a tree. Shadows cast by the branches create a dynamic sense of depth.

Created using my Ether Art technique - hand-drawn digitally from a blank canvas - it blends expressive abstraction with storytelling and vibrant detail. Available across fine art prints, canvases, puzzles, apparel, and home décor.

We hatched a couple of acorns; the parent tree produced exactly one cluster of two acorns, and these are they. We planted them at the same time; the sapling with the larger leaves ("Annie Oaktree") emerged about two weeks sooner than the other. The younger tree is already taller and has twice as many leaves. The leaves are have a different shape and color.

My wife has declared the second to be a genetic weirdo, but for some reason, "Mut-ent" isn't an acceptable name.

[ ] That's an awesome name!
[ ] That's the only reasonable name!
[ ] I wish I'd thought of that name.
[ ] Chris, you're not winning this one.
[ ] Did you know that you can't have photos in a poll?

A potted oak sapling. It has three relatively-large leaves; their span exceeds the diameter of the pot. The leaves' sawtooth edges are smooth, gentle curves. The leaves are a vibrant green.

A potted oak sapling. It has six small leaves. The leaves' sawtooth edges look sharp enough that you wouldn't want to casually touch them. The leaves are green with highlights of dark red.

#ForestFriday #Scape One of my favorite hiking spots! A bench sits under a huge, shady oak tree, and the wooden boardwalk takes you over a small creek and waterfall (dry at the moment for this pic). #EastCoastKin #Hiking #OakTree #WestCoastKin

A beautiful little spot that has a wooden boardwalk passing past a huge shady oak tree and a dry creek bed. Once it rains, there is water and a small waterfall as well. At the end of the boardwalk is a wooden bench for hikers to sit and enjoy the shade and possibly the sound of running water. This is on the Wednesday (W) trail in the Irish Hills of San Luis Obispo, California.

#ForestFriday #Scape This oak tree is seemingly growing in all directions! #EastCoastKin #Hiking #OakTree #Forest

An oak tree is growing alongside a hiking trail and has unusual branch growth directions that go in all directions. One is coming straight towards the camera, another one is growing above the camera. One to the left, one to the right, some to the back. While trees do grow in all directions, this one seems more unique. Cerro San Luis Obispo trail in San Luis Obispo, California.

Thick Trunk Tuesday; oak tree in a school yard close to where I live. I'm so fond of this oak, and the kids seem to like it as well. Photo shot yesterday.
#ThickTrunkTuesday #OakTree #NaturePhotography #StreetPhotography #Stockholm #Nature #UrbanNature

An oak tree with thick and gnarly trunk partly covered in snow. Standing in a large school yard and a few large boulders around the tree, everything covered in snow. In the background the school, a three storey building in a deep warm yellow. Also some smaller winter bare trees and a evergreen spruce.

Perun

In Slavic mythology, Perun is the highest god of the pantheon & the god of the sky, thunder, lightning, storms, rain, law, war, fertility, & oak trees. His other attributes were fire, mountains, wind, iris (the flower), eagle, firmament, horses & carts, & weapons (hammer, axe (Axe of Perun), & arrow).

The supreme god in the Kievan Rus’ during the 9th-10th centuries, Perun was first associated with weapons made of stone & later with those of metal. The Kievan Ris’ (a.k.a. Kyivan Rus’) was the 1st East Slavic state & later an amalgam of principalities in Eastern Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century. It encompasses a variety of peoples, including East Slavic, Norse, & Finnic.

The Primary Chronicle relates that in the year 6415 (907 AD) Prince Oleg (Old Norse: Helgi) made a peace treaty with the Byzantine Empire & by taking his men to the shrines & swearing by their weapons & by their God Perun, & by Volos, the God of cattle, they confirmed the treaty.

In 980, when Prince Vladimir the Great came to the throne of Kiev, he erected statues of 5 pagan gods in front of his palace which he soon thereafter discarded after his Christianization in 988.

Perun was chief among them, represented with a silver head & a gold moustache. Vladimir’s uncle, Dobrynya, also had a shrine of Perun established in his city of Novgorod. After the Christianization of Kievan Rus’ this place became a monastery, which continued to bear the name of Perun.

Perun was worshipped by the Varangian (Scandinavian) warriors hired by Oleg & Igor during the campaigns against Byzantium. In the treaty of 971, the Varangians reenforce with the Slavic deity, Veles.

When the arrival of Christianity, the old gods fared poorly amongst the Slavs. Grand prince Vladimir the Great, who had once been a very vocal & lavish patron of Perun, converted to Christianity.

In 988, the prince & his family & people of the Kievan Rus’ were collectively baptized. He ordered that the statues of Perun which he himself had erected formerly, be dethroned, torn down with great dishonor & dragged through the streets as they were beaten with sticks. The idols were then cast into rivers & not permitted to land on the shore. 3 of Vladimir’s sons are also recognized as saints.

In neopaganism interpretation, the struggle of St. George with the serpent is understood as the struggle of Perun with Veles, who stole cows from him.

According to the book Dezionization by Valery Yemelyanov, 1 of the founders of the Russian neopaganism, in the ideas of the “Veneti” (“Aryans”), there was a “trinity of three triune trinites”: Prav-Yav-Nav, Svarog-Perun-Svetovid, Soul-Flesh-Power.

In some currents, Perun may be the supreme patron god. Since 1992, the 1st neopagan Kupchinsky Temple of Perun has been in St. Petersburg.

Immerse yourself in the quiet mystery of a heavy morning fog. This black and white photograph captures a wet street vanishing into the mist, creating a striking natural gradient from the dark, textured pavement to the endless white void ahead.

I took this photo looking straight up into the dense, wild canopy of an old oak woodland. What grabbed me was how the sheer chaos of the branches and leaves turned into this beautiful, almost abstract pattern in black and white.

I love how enigmatic and textured these oak tree branches are. The oaks are very large and old, growing by a quiet lane.

#ForestFriday #Scape A boardwalk and wooden bench are next to a large oak tree and provide a wonderful setting to rest while on this hiking trail in the hills of San Luis Obispo. #EastCoastKin #Hiking #OakTree

A wooden boardwalk leads up to a wooden bench and a large oak tree with multiple trunks. The tree provides a large canopy over the bench, providing shade for the hiker. There is a small stream to the right which is the reason for the boardwalk which becomes a bridge. The tree and vegetation are green with reddish-golden leaves scattered on the ground. The sunlight and shadows are mottled on this bright, sunny day. This is the W trail in the Irish Hills of San Luis Obispo, California.
