Description
The Drachenschlucht (Dragon's Cleft) offers a nice place with these rocky walls. I wonder how trees manage to grow here, rooting in some way they don't fall but stand tall, daring the elements.
It was hard to compose this one in a better way. The steep slopes did not allow me to change position easily and branches above me would cover the top of the picture by the leaves when I would like to use wide angle. Nevertheless I was wondering how these trees manage to survive under these conditions.

I have seen many of those situations in norway: trees on a rock, very impressive!

Het groeit tegen de klippen op! (untranslatable for the non-dutchies, unfortunately). Marvelous shot!

Very interesting geography here. There must be many crevices in the rocks for the trees to grow so well. Excellent shot -- it makes a very pretty scene.

Great picture. It's symbolic for some people's lives, who survive in an impossible situation. Have a good day, J.C.!

Huh? Is that tree coming out from that rock??? That must be some determined roots it has, lol. Beautiful colors on those rocks btw, almost looks as if it was rusty. Have a wonderful weekend. #:O)

In Spring, the mind locks on life in such sterile, unyielding situations.

Wonderful they seem to be rock trees....nature is so amazing.

seems the trees don't need much to grow, but the composition of natural colors is amazing! the yellow blooming looks very contrastful against the strange rock formation! I really love this photo! ;o)

These are really cool looking rocks, and you've managed an excellent capture! It is amazing that those trees survive here :)

They must be hardy indeed, to be growing right atop the rocks. Great shot, the angle is wonderful. Good job, Jan!!

Remarkable way of survival. Funny how these trees are always on a spot where there is no space for the photographer to manoeuvre. Great shot nevertheless.
Denger
Interesting subject and POV. This indeed looks to be the haunt of dragons!

Well, I guess once the're beginning to grow, it's very difficult for them to move to a more comfortable place... I think a tree is such an amazing creature. The amount of material it produces as it grows, and where does it get that material from? Anyway, I love this picture with those beautiful rocks and their inhabitants. You did manage to make an excellent composition of it, JC.
