Scree & Tree

Taken earlier this year in the Lake District simply it's trees growing on scree - it's remarkable where trees will root and take hold.

What a place for a tree to grow! Great capture of it!

Now that is one persistent tree! I like this picture because of the story it tels, but also because of the contrasting color areas and the great sense of scale you have put into it...

I couldn't agree with SanderH more.
The low perspective really makes this image, David.

Now you're not going to believe this
But I have the very same tree in profile.

Ya been follorin me arund like??

We'd better see thee picture then an make sure it's the same one

Cool picture! I like the color contrast.

It's a nice composition. The rocks, the tree, the clouds. Good contrast, and I like the colors. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely composition David. Great work again.

Presumably, if you and Cameron have shot the same tree, it MUST be very close to a pub

Excellent David !!Great composition.Lovely contrast in colours. Thanks for sharing.

You've eye-balled the picture before but here it is again.
Lots of PS work to give it that "buzzed" look.
Is it the same tree

Trevor, it was bloody miles from a pub.

Wrong tree! Took this one the last time we were out together

And Trevor, apart from being miles away from a pub - not even Cameron would be drinking at 08:10am, I'd only just taken away the bottle he when to sleep with!

Wrong call, David.
I like to relax and unwind with a small beverage after a night shift.

So, it's the wrong tree is it ?

What's scree " Residue from some excavating event?..nice capture!

Here is a link which will answer your question better than I probably could - thanks for the comment.

I think Cameron was concentrating on another image at the time I took this - it was all the different angles of the scree and the trees with their fresh spring leaves which attracted me - didn't like it after I processed it then looked at it again a few days ago and liked it! Pleased that I never delete images!

Thanks to you both for your kind comments.

Like you, David, I never delete an image.
My hard drives are screaming at me, " Remember Lesmac's Rule of Turds".
Can't bring myself to do it.
