The old beech tree - NK3-0285

An old and majestic moss-covered Beech tree growing over a mossy stone wall.

Though they share the same place, I'm guessing that the wall was there first - but who knows. I have no idea of the age of the tree, but whatever, it's a beautiful tree ...... and what tales it could tell if only it could talk.

For anyone local who might be interested, it is located along the narrow road from Lowery Cross to Cross Gate (above the Burrator Reservoir).

 

Technical note: This is a handheld shot at 1/15 second. I got away with it again thanks to Nikon's VR lens system - maybe not tack sharp but sharp enough for the subject.
