2009-08-19-142 London Kensington Gardens fallen tree by the Long water

***Explore photo 248 on Monday, September 21, 2009***

 

This is a photo that I've been after for a long time! The tree fell some years ago; ordinarily fallen trees are sawn up and removed pretty quickly, but this one is inaccessible and in a nature area, so it's been left, thus forming an important resource. I rather like the tree, but it's a scene that's very sensitive to the angle of the Sun, it seems to be in shadow for a lot of the day and the effect is much weaker. Things were going my way on August 19th, the light was good on my way home, so I spent a lot of time in the Park taking photos.

 

This scene is very near to the 'Peter Pan' Statue; it's about half way between the statue and the fountains at the N. end of the Longwater.

 

The photo is unedited apart from adding the water-mark and lightening the image after loading to Flickr. I hope you like it!
