This is one of two different views that I photographed after I had observed the way that the tree shadows emphasised the undulations in the ground and thought it would make an interesting composition.
An old barn in Aldergrove, has seen better days. Still a nice Spring scene. The Chestnut tree on the left is in full bloom. An old one for Fence Friday.
Thanks for your visit and comments, I appreciate that very much!

[ENG] In the Chestnut forest of El Tiemblo (Ávila, Spain) a impressive chestnut-tree exists that possibly is the principal attraction of the chestnut forest. It is known affectionatly as The Grandfather, it is the most elderly and spectacular of the forest and it thinks that it has approximately 525 years. The shepherds were in the habit of sheltering from the storms even it does relatively a little time inside his enormous hollow trunk and it seems that someone lit fire near him, causing a singed and phantasmagoric aspect. Even this way, he continues turning out to be an magnificent and his "soons" grow strongly around it. It has 16 meters of perimeter, and it appears in the Catalogue of Vegetable Specimens of Singular Relevancy of Castile and León.
[ESP] En el Castañar de El Tiemblo (Ávila, Spain) existe un imponente castaño que posiblemente es la atracción principal del castañar. Se le conoce cariñosamente como El Abuelo, es el más anciano y espectacular del bosque y se estima que tiene unos 525 años. Los pastores solían guarecerse de las tormentas hasta hace relativamente poco dentro de su enorme tronco hueco y parece que alguien prendió fuego cerca de él, causándole un aspecto chamuscado y fantasmagórico. Aun así, sigue resultando imponente y sus “hijos” crecen con fuerza a su alrededor. Tiene 16 metros de perímetro, y figura en el Catálogo de Especímenes Vegetales de Singular Relevancia de Castilla y León.

Signs of Autumn in the Sweet Chestnut tree.
Much better viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
The Avenue des Champs-Élysées (French pronunciation: [avəny de ʃɑ̃zelize] is a prestigious avenue in Paris, France. With its cinemas, cafés, luxury specialty shops and clipped horse-chestnut trees, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées is one of the most famous streets in the world, and with rents as high as €1.1 million (USD1.5 million) annually per 1,100 square feet (92.9 square metres) of space, it remains the most expensive strip of real estate in Europe.[1][2] The name is French for Elysian Fields, the place of the blessed dead in Greek mythology.

Have a wonderful Saturday and thanks for dropping by.
Hyde park, at the end of August.
Thank you all for visits, faves and comments, it's greatly appreciated!
It isn't easy around here to find a tree without anything else in the background. Usually there is a horizon filled with other trees or buildings but on this particular day I saw this old chestnut (at least I think it's a chestnut) in a farm field during a blizzard. The weather conditions had made the trees in the distance invisible.

I used this photograph on my blog to illustrate a Jeanne Guyon article:
THE BLESSEDNESS OF WINTER
by Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717)
From: Final Steps in Christian Maturity
I see the season of winter as an excellent example of the transforming work of the Lord in a Christian’s life. When winter comes, the vegetable world, it seems to me, reflects the image of the purifying which God does in order to remove imperfections from the life of one of His children.
As cold comes on the wings of a winter storm, the trees gradually begin to lose their leaves. The green is soon changed into a funereal brown; soon the leaves fall away and die. Behold the tree’s appearance now! It looks stripped and desolate. Behold the loss of summer’s beautiful garment. What happens as you look upon that poor tree? You see a revelation.
Under all the beautiful leaves there had been all sorts of irregularities and defects. The defects had been invisible because of the beautiful leaves. Now those defects are startlingly revealed! The tree is no longer beautiful in its surface appearance. But has the tree actually changed? Not at all. Everything is exactly as it was before. The beauty of the outward life of the leaves had only hidden what was always present.

Walking home today after a mix weather day of rain showers, clouds and sudden bursts of lovely sunlight.
Luckily it was dry on the walk home from work, and the evening light was lovely, so I walked through the old bone orchard to take some snaps of the old chestnut tree.
Most of the trees are still rich with summer greenery, but you can see brown and gold leaf colouring sneaking in as autumn slowly arrives, and in the case of this chestnut tree, autumn is pretty far advancedeven by the second day of September.

Die letzten Kastanienblätter sind noch nicht gefallen, da zeigen sich schon die neuen Knospen, that‘s really alive!
Le joli marronnier qui se trouve dans un champ à la Ferté-Saint-Samson est menacé par la pluie. L'arbre a une forme de chapeau de gendarme.
The pretty chestnut tree in a field at La Ferté-Saint-Samson is threatened by the rain. The tree has the shape of a policeman's hat.
An der Ostsee in Boltenhagen ist es so weit.
Sichtbar sind die noch geschlossenen Blütenstände. Zur Blütezeit (je nach Baumart Art Mai/Juni/Juli) werden sie mit ihren weißen, rosa oder roten prächtigen Blüten wunderschön aussehen. Die Baltische Allee am Yachthafen wird toll aussehen.
Chestnut before flowering
The time has come on the Baltic Sea in Boltenhagen.
The still closed inflorescences are visible. During the flowering period (May/June/July depending on the tree species) they will look beautiful with their white, pink or red flowers. The Baltic Avenue at the marina will look amazing.
