A couple of shots of what's probably the most photographed tree in England. Shot from the main road with a 100-400.

What makes the tree so popular to shoot? Is there some sort of cultural significance to this tree??

This tree was also featured in the film about Robin Hood starring Kevin Costner.

Neat place though

2 Samuel 9:7-8, "So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.” Then he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?”
