Summit chestnuts - sepia

A winter's day in Ecclesall Woods, south-west Sheffield

At the summit of the higher ground in the western part of Ecclesall Woods, is a fine stand of chestnut trees. I am always intrigued by their twisted boles and branches.

I like the antique look which sepia toning gives to this image. It also concentrates the appreciation of the abstract form and semi-fractal look of the twigs and branches, without the distraction of colour.
