Wishing tree
Is no more. It was a special place a special tree. People have travelled the world to see it. Sycamore gap, many know it as the Robin Hood tree, a name that irked me, as all famous landmarks that get tagged with film fame do, but still it added to the love for this tree. I’ve been there many many time, I’ve spent a night sleeping beside it, been there until the early hours photographing the stars among it’s branches and on this occasion travelled up first thing on new years day 2018 to catch the sunrise where I caught this moment someone just needed to touch it. Last night someone ripped the heart out of the North East of England with a wilful act, I’ll not use the word hateful as you need a mind to hate and cutting this tree down with a chainsaw was mindless. My only wish now is the authorities understand the public feeling and move heaven and earth to catch the culprits. Goodbye wishing tree.
