Lone Tree

Lone Tree
We were driving up Portsdown Hill, Hampshire on a busy dual carriageway yesterday afternoon and spotted this tree through a gap in the hedge. I quickly found a safe place to stop, and managed to walk back down the hill without getting myself run over, to take this photo. Luckily, my wife is used to me doing this sort of thing.........and carries a book to give her something to read until I get back to the car!

Please view large, if you want. Have a splendid Thursday :-)

A fortuitous shot Keith! I love a lone tree and the shape of this one is worthy of a photo. The sky is also beautifully captured. Your wife was well prepared, with a book ;-))

Have a great Thursday. Looks like a nice day here!

Bevor ich deinen Titel gelesen habe,dachte ich mir,er hält in diesen Feld noch brav seine Stellung lieber Keith,ich mag immer deine Geschichten,wie deine Frau schon immer ein Buch mitnimmt und sich dabei die Zeit vertreibt,aber Fotografie ist einfach ein tolles Hobby und diesen unscheinbaren Motive springen einen öfters an lieber Keith,ich mag es,wie du diesen Baum ins Bild gesetzt hast :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Trees are always good to shoot when they stand alone like this..............and unlike people and animals they don't run away when they see you :-))

Ta femme est une sainte Keith ;-))) La mienne aussi. Mais quand je voyage et que je fais des photos, elle fait du shopping.

She is indeed Jean-luc. We've been married 50 years, so she's had plenty of time to get used to me.

It sound like we're both lucky men!

It is so fascinating to see how branches twist and bend into such interesting shapes! This one is a wonderful example.

I also do that, well less and less because it is more and more difficult to find a place to stop… glad your wife loves you enough to be cool about this !

I enjoy exploring Isabel and I'm lucky that my wife is so understanding Isabel. She uses a stick to walk with now (arthritis) and we cannot go out walking as much as we used to.

Perfectly spotted and the resulting photo is marvellous! Lone trees look especially good without leaves an the slight mist makes it very atmospheric.

Eine schöne Eiche. Leider sieht es so aus, als ob sie im oberen Bereich einige tote Äste hat. Aber das machr sie gerade so fotogen.
Für deine wundervolle Aufnahme hat sich der Weg auf jeden Fall gelohnt, Keith!
