Thank you, all.
Martin, sadly I'm not responsible for the poster you mention, though it's been an inspiration to me ever since I first saw it. The winter picture at the bottom was how I first saw the group: when I got back home and saw the results of that first shoot, I knew that this would be an ongoing project. 52 photos? Several hundred now, I'd guess....
I have some other tree stands I'm working on, too.

I took some pics on sunday,while on a walk, they have trees in them, here,have a look      trees are eco friendly, natures supply of building material  BUT, we are too many, and took the roman idea of concrete for public places too far, and anyway, wood burns, see 'great fire of london' for more info on that one trees, good things, people bad, www.[edited].org is the answer |

Do you know whether your trees are located at a node between ley lines? I have been attracted to various spots for no obvious reason, until, that is, I discovered that they were at locations that had been regarded as significant in the distant past.

That's an interesting question, Kitty, which I can't answer immediately, since there seem to be no Ley maps for this area. I'll try and check the O.S. maps later, though there's a deal of running around to do in the next couple of days... This area has remains going back to the megalithic era, though, so when I do get a mo - perhaps on my return from the trek - I'll try and join the sites up. Here's one, just up the road.... http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/2812 |

I'm always fascinated by stories about "the wee folk". The Victorians seem to have sanitized much of the folklore in an attempt to make it suitable for children. It also intrigues me that there are even a few stories from the twentieth century, of faerie folk's activities.

What do they grow on the field? That picture reminds me of Shishkin. He loved trees.  I think I like Ron's better. I think Shishkin's tree are seen on a good Summer day. |

They rotate the crop, t-p, so it won't be the same thing all the time; this spring and last it was rape, with its acid-yellow flowers; when it goes to seed, it's harvested, and the pressed seeds yield an oil that's good for cooking with.

Yes, Martle, they are. They're pretty old now, limbs have broken off and one or two have gone completely, probably in gales... Here's another angle, shot yesterday.  |

That is such a heartbreakingly beautiful picture! So like the King's Forest near my old home in Lakenheath! |

I love them too, Kitty. Shishkin is known for painting forests and trees.  I had this picture hanging on the wall when I was small child, but bears were painted by some one else. Everybody knows this picture.  Shishkin is very famous.  |

They're wonderful, t-p,
Almost enough to make me stop taking pictures altogether.
