VISCUM ALBUM

Common Mistletoe
Weisse Mistel
Gui

Order: Santalales
Family: Lorathaceae
Genus: Viscum
Distribution: Europe from Southern Scandinavia to S.Europe

It is a hemi-parasitic shrub which lives on stems and branches of host trees. They take water and minerals from their host. The leaves are in opposite pairs, the fruits are white. They are eaten by birds and the seeds transplanted on other trees.
Viscum plants are poisonous.
In Celtic times, Viscum was used by Druids as medicine and also as symbol of life. The Germans believed they were presents of the Gods. In Switzerland it is a symbol of fertility.

Hello Anne,
This is a very beautiful composition, it reminds me of an Art Noveau stained window somehow!! The light is fantastic and makes the berries look transparent. Lovely colours and a nice soft glimpse of the sky beyond. Very well done!
TFS and cheers, Ulla

Hi Anne
A very nice composition with the back light showing off the translucency of the berries.
Kind Regards
Vinny

Hi anne,
Le Gui est une plante hors du commun, ne respectant aucune lois de la nature! Très belle composition avec ces petits fruits.
Bonne soirée

Hello Anne,
The lighting here for this group of Mistletoe is beautiful. The white balls are well exposed and not overly bright, nor should they be. A grand image of a weed that brings kisses on Christmas.
Well Done...
Steve

Salut Anne,
These ones looks like lighting balloons!
Very good the POV chosen, with the sideways lighting, to achieve that beautiful transparencies on the fruits, that works like accent points of light in the composition.
Felicitacions et merci du partage.

Bonjour Anne,
This is a beautiful capture of Miseltoe and its berries in fantastic side lighting taken from a great POV and well composed to make a fine pattern. The sharpness and DOF are just right too.
A delightful image, the beauty of which is not seen in the thumbnail.
Merci pour le partage et bonne soirée,
Amitiés,
Ivan

Ciao Anna,
bella immagine di vischio, ottimo POV con un perfetto uso della luce che crea un bellissimo effetto traslucido delle bacche, molto buona la nitidezza e splendidi colori in una composizione complessa, ma equilibrata in ogni elemento.
TFS.
Bonne soirée.

Hi Anne,

Thanks for posting.

Liebe Anne,
geheimnisvoll leuchten die schneeweissen Beeren der Weissen Mistel im Gegenlicht. Duftig helles Bild, dankbarer Willkommensgruss an die Sonne an einem Wintertag im Jänner.
Mit Dank und herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter

Bonjour Anne,
Qu'elle prise intéressante d'une plante que je vois pour la première fois. La lumière est superbe et on dirait que les bulbes sont phosphorescents! C'est une photo tout en délicatesse et très sophistiquée! Bravo!
