Known locally as Leigh Park Gardens...............a huge country park which is around a 10 minute drive from my home. The weather was a bit hit and miss, but I managed to mostly avoid the rain showers, by dashing into the trees. The image in the PiP was taken around 20 minutes after this one and shows a wider view of the lake and the gathering clouds. There is an interesting history of the park in the link below for anyone who might be interested: www.hants.gov.uk/thingstodo/countryparks/staunton-country-park/our-story/history

I've been meaning to take a photo of this tree for ages......trouble is, it stands next to a fence and hedge and it's pretty much impossible to get an uncluttered shot.........until I remembered my Samyang 7.5mm fisheye lens! The sky was a boring grey colour so converted to B/W and turned turned the whole scene into a silhouette using Silver Efex Pro.

Please view large, on black.

Taken near Midhurst, West Sussex.

I think this view has real potential and I intend to revisit it in better weather - especially with some decent cloud formations.
