The tree in the lake picture?

[swee'pea99]

Someone who either does or did hang out hereabouts is a dab hand with a box brownie, and many moons ago I adopted his pic of a tree in a lake as the wallpaper on my mobile. It's this:

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd love to get hold of another proper copy (my old phone died, and even tho' this is big enough for a mobile, it's nothing like the original for quality).

@swee'pea99

Is this the one?

Yes, I think it is.

Now you just have to work out what his forum name was.

That is such a stunning pic

 

[swee'pea99]

That's the feller! Fantastic...many thanks. (His other pics were also stunning, BTW.)

Melvil is most certainly an excellent photographer.

Thanks guys! Been away from the forum for a while (general business and a young baby have done it to me!) but have been snapping still. Love the vultures Asterix - also saw this stunning picture (shame it's such a sad context though) of trees in Wired magazine - http://www.wired.com/2011/03/pakistan-tree-spiders/

Going off on a bit of a tangent; not a photo, but a short clip of some trees with thousands of fruit bats in (with a wingspan of about 2-3 fee), close to where I was staying earlier this winter in India.

Good to hear all is well, Melvil!
