Yesterday morning I was up at 4:30am and instead of photographing the gorgeous sunrise that was happening I headed out to take photos of a road. The B3082known to locals as Beech Avenue runs between Wimborne Minster and Blandford Forum in Dorset and is a much photographed road due to the gorgeous Beech trees that line each side of it.
I've seen lots of photos from here in the past but didn't really know where it was until Emily Endean Photography posted a gorgeous shot with its location a few weeks ago, So thanks to Emily and Google Maps I found my way there and got the shot I wanted.
Luckily the road was pretty much empty of traffic at that time of the morning so I had plenty of time to get in the middle of the road without becoming road kill lol!
Another shot from our walk around Chagford last Saturday. The path followed the River Teign for a bit and that's when we came across a row of old beech trees growing out of remnants of an ancient stone wall. This will look awesome in autumn so I will put that on our family to-do list for later this year :-)

commonly known as Beech Avenue.
A favourite spot for photographers, Beech Avenue began life in 1835, when 731 trees were planted either side of the newly built road, which was created as a turnpike, or toll road, to the financial benefit of the land's owner, explorer and Dorset aristocrat William John Bankes.
It's said the road and trees were an extravagant gift from Barnes to his mother Frances.
There were 365 trees along one side, and 366 along the other, one for every day of the year, and the other for every day of a leap year.
We had a lot of fun shooting here, although the road was really busy we still had a few quiet moments where we could get into the middle to get the photos we wanted.
Despite the harsh sunlight, I still managed to get a few shots were the light looked nice coming through the trees.

The sun is quickly dropping behind the hills as the A&O crew sets off its inbound train of 80 empty coal cars for the Beech Mountain. After making their setoff, they'll tie down here and the crew will van back home for the night.
This very old beech surley is mother of the small beeches in the vicinity.
Die alte Buche ist sicherlich die Mutter all der kleinen Buchen in ihrer Umgebung.
Zum Zeitpunkt der Aufnahme fand ich auf der anderen Seite dieses mächtigen Stammes Riesenporlinge am Wurzelfuß, ein Zeichen dafür, dass dieser markante Baum nicht mehr ganz gesund ist. Ich hoffe die Buchenmutter streckt trotzdem noch recht lange ihre Arme in den Himmel.
Ashridge, Hertfordshire.
These ancient beech trees are the remains of an old beech hedge, that separated the parkland from the local common.
(352/365) This small Beech tree in my front garden is still providing some seasonal colour on this dull grey day. Our neighbour often puts cattle in the adjacent field during the Summer hence the set up for the electric wire. I just noticed the lichen on the post. Might try for a close up another day. HFF!
If you are up for the challenge of taking a daily photograph next year then check out my group www.flickr.com/groups/2016_one_photo_each_day
You have 7 days to upload each photo to the group so there is no pressure to upload to Flickr every day unless you choose to.
Deep inside a beech forest. Not a person for miles, nothing that you can see moving, yet the air is full of the sounds of movement.
This beautiful small beech forest is a popular place for a walk.

Along the north side of the British Army’s main train area on Salisbury Plain, only a 20 feet wide unpaved perimeter road (and a fence!) separate the ranges from some stunning scenery.
There are few places that capture the emptiness of the area than the lonely clumps of beech trees that pepper the landscape, some just a hundred metres from the boundary fence.
At Charlton, where I took these shots, there are 4 clumps of between 4 and 8 trees that make a cracking backdrop for sun sets and sun rises.

Winter will soon be over, and the sapling beech trees will lose their dead leaves as this year's leaf buds open. One theory as to why the leaves remain on is to protect the younger trees from browsing deer. At least one study suggests that the buds hidden by the leaves do not get eaten and therefore become the new shoots and leaves in spring. This juvenile trait may disappear as the tree matures and becomes less susceptible to damage.
