Fine Art Veteran Oak Tree, Savernake Forest

While walking along Post Wives Walk, looking for some of the amazing 'named' trees in this magnificent forest, I came across this veteran maiden oak (tag: 1987) with a trunk girth of 4.5m.

 

This visit was in early autumn and the tree was still in leaf with the colours not yet turning. Oak trees are one of the last trees in the UK to turn for the autumn.

 

I processed this image to give a fine art 'painterly' sort of look.
