Captured in timeless black and white, this vertical photograph invites you to take a slow stroll down a dirt trail lined with rustic wooden post-and-rail fencing. In the foreground, the deeply textured, grooved bark of a giant tree trunk anchors the right side of the frame, bringing an incredible sense of scale and depth. Beyond it, towering trees reach upward toward the soft canopy light, creating a secluded, meditative retreat within nature.

Shot from a low angle in rich, detailed black and white, this photograph centers on a massive, weathered boulder nestled deep within a shadowy forest canopy. The sharp contrast highlights every crack, texture, and natural contour of the ancient stone, while sweeping tree branches and delicate leaves frame the rock from above. The soft overhead light filtering through the trees creates a peaceful, almost secret-haven atmosphere. Follow me on Instagram at @douglaswelch, @dewdesignphoto, and @agardenersnotebook and Pixelfed.

This vertical shot looks up into the dramatic, winding canopy of an ancient oak tree. The heavy, dark branches twist and loop through the frame like natural sculptures, creating an intricate web against the sky. Surrounded by dense, layered green foliage and smaller forest undergrowth, this perspective gives you the immersive feeling of standing deep within a hidden grove.

Dedicated in April 1981, the 1.3 acre garden was built through the generosity of Mrs. Loraine Miller Collins in memory of her late husband, Earl Burns Miller. Following three years of planning, in cooperation with California State University Long Beach, landscape architect Edward R. Lovell was chosen to oversee its creation. The resulting garden reflects the university’s continued interest in international education, student and community engagement, as well as the Miller's interests in nature and wellness. The university is delighted to share this educational, cultural, and aesthetic resource with you. – CSULB

Consecrated in 1824, as part of the major construction programme initiated by Governor Lachlan Macquarie, St James' Church is now the oldest existing church building in the City of Sydney. It has been the venue for many historic events including the enthronement of the first, and only, Bishop of Australia, William Grant Broughton (for whom the church became his cathedral). Through history, St James has been a place of ministry to a diversity of people ranging from the Governor, military personnel and convicts at its beginnings to the great array of people who work and live in the city today and those who come from the wider metropolitan area for Sunday worship.

In textual studies, a palimpsest (/ˈpælɪmpsɛst/) is a manuscript page, either from a scroll or a book, from which the text has been scraped or washed off in preparation for reuse[1] in the form of another document.[2] Parchment was made of lamb, calf, or goat skin and was expensive and not readily available, so, in the interest of economy, a page was often re-used by scraping off the previous writing. In colloquial usage, the term palimpsest is also used in architecture, archaeology and geomorphology to denote an object made or worked upon for one purpose and later reused for another; for example, a monumental brass on which the blank reverse side has been re-engraved.[3 — Wikipedia Follow me on Instagram at @douglaswelch, @dewdesignphoto, and @agardenersnotebook and Pixelfed.
