Hand-held & polarised in late-afternoon Pembrokeshire.

The almond is a deciduous tree, growing 4–10 metres in height, with a trunk of up to 30 centimetres in diameter. The young twigs are green at first, becoming purplish where exposed to sunlight, then grey in their second year. The leaves are 3–5 inches long, with a serrated margin and a 2.5 cm petiole. The flowers are white to pale pink, 3–5 cm diameter with five petals, produced singly or in pairs and appearing before the leaves in early spring.

"Big old tree in one of my favourite green places, the Albury Botanic Gardens. A 'thin place' for me - in Celtic spirituality - a place where you are a fingerprint away from those that have gone before you" - Joanne Diver

The Quiver tree gets it name because the San hunters used it branches as quivers. The branches were hollowed out leaving a strong hollow tube. This image was taken at the Quiver Tree Forest just outside Keetmanshoop in Namibia.

My first real efforts with HDR processing. The sky was hopelessly blown out when the tree was properly exposed.
