Description
"CYPRESS SECRETS" by KAREN WILES
The magical wonderland of North Carolina's mystical "green swamp" holds the charming beauty of the magnificent cypress tree..
The Cypress tree has a fascinating history that dates back to the ancient Egyptians who used the durable trees to build mummy cases. The Greeks were also fans of the tree and used its wood to create urns to store the ashes of those who died in battle. Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that Plato's code of laws was etched into Cypress wood because it was thought to outlast brass.

Thank you Natalie. They are amazing and some are hundreds of years old. I have a lot of wood in my home that was created from cypress pulled up from the bottom of the Cape Fear River, that laid on the river bottom for hundreds of years...

Beautiful capture of Trees. I love them. I learned how to find and capture trees back in high school. Back then we shot black and white and the lighting and contrast was a very important feature of the shots. Maybe that I why I still love trees. I see them where ever I go. I have a gallery just with Trees. Take a peek when you get a chance. Blessings
