Keeping the Witch Away

I'm not entirely sure the ancient superstition worked. The rowan tree remains but the croft-house at whose corner it stands is long decayed into little more than a couple perpendicular lines of stones returning to the bog.

 

Subtle tones and contrasts: bright pale green tree-beard lichen and moss covering the rowan tree, tall conifers just behind and other trees fading into the rain in the distance.
