Silver Birch Tree in the Fog, Hodge Close Quarry, Lake District
I was leading a one day workshop to Hodge Close Quarry on Sunday with a couple of clients when on arriving, the fog rolled in and created such wonderfully atmospheric conditions. I simply had to grab a quick shot of this beautiful Silver Birch tree which grows on the very edge of a 60ft drop. The way it clings to life impresses me for I admire its resilience, determination never to let go and to continue battling on through life no matter what is thrown at it. I am coming back as a tree in my next life :-)
I shall be running more one day workshops here throughout the winter. If you would like to be notified ahead of the general public, feel free to SIGN UP to my mailing list newsletters.
