The Old Man of Calke , the oldest tree on the estate is thought to be around 1,200 years old I wonder what it has seen in those years, the path by it was specially made to avoid visitors compacting the soil around it's roots, fortunately it is well away from the carpark so not to many venture out there. Many of the trees on the estate are classed as ancient

I think the background is to clear I had a zoom lens with me the aperture was f5.2 I have a 50mm f1.2 I will try that sometime to see if that gives the right effect, the other option is wait for a very foggy day !!
Wishing you a sunny week
A new season begins

It's efficient and very fast but a pair of Shire Horses would be a lot more scenic
