Juniper

Juniper
Or I assume it is some sort of a juniper. I went to cemetery especially because I wanted to share this juniper tree with you all. It stands out proudly on one grave. Needles of it are approximately one centimeter long.

Yes I did =)

And there are even more of them ;-)

I took several shots, trying to capture also some droplets. However, the overall composition was best on this one.

Thank you, Marie-claire. Actually that "ouch" makes be think this is not a juniper after all. Those needles look and feels too blunt to be juniper needles. At least Juniperus communis has very sharp needles: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniper#/media/File:Juniperus_communis_cones.jpg

Ha ha ha! =D

Well, Pinophyta are especially common choice of plants at cemeteries, at least in Scandinavia. Probably because cypresses does not usually grow around here.

Merci, Dan =)

That "triptych" is merely as a choice of layout, to save space and avoid unnecessary vertical scrolling. From composition point of view this would have been better:

Lovely with a droplet of water close to the "head". Could I say person on the grave is lucky to be protected by such a juniperus... well at least it is good for those who mourn...
My fave for the one at your office with the black background.

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Xata club
Thank you, Isabel =)

I agree, the shot with black background is sort of most aesthetic. Although, my out of the comfort zone goal was to go out and take a shot in natural environment. I guess other people at the cemetery were puzzled to see me walking around the juniper, trying to find the best angle for the shot =D

I also took several shots with my cell phone, but the weather was very difficult! Almost all shots came out hazy and blurry.

Sami.. possibly Yew.. that is the usual tree of this type for Cemeteries.

In England.. it was King John who decreed the planting of them so that "the Bowmen of England" would always have the finest wood for bows and arrows.

Many yew trees are hundreds of years old even now.

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Pam J club
Probably not because the leaves are not arranged in similar way as on yew trees.

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Boarischa Krautmo club
I agree. So, probably it is just an ordinary spruce cut to this form.
