An old scan from a 5x4 transparency (Velvia 50) of the now-lost tree at sycamore gap. I would have been using a Shen Hao field camera and 90mm lens, and by the angle of the light I assume this was taken early one morning in early spring. Scanned on a Howtek drum scanner and left on my hard drive for perhaps a decade.
The New Market gap slices through the Blue Ridge Mountains and route 211 runs through it connecting the small towns of Luray Virginia and New Market Virginia. This was taken in the Shenandoah Valley at the Meems Bottom covered bridge. Another rainy day with showers coming and going.........
The icon and world famous sycamore tree
A youth is in custody today charged with felling the tree.

It was made famous in the 1991 film ‘Robin Hood, Prince of thieves’. Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman had a great scene on Hadrian’s wall next to the tree.
It’s a sad world we live in when someone so young has to damage this beautiful tree, and stop others from enjoying its splendour.
There’s also a tourism trade in the area, and this is significant for them.
We visited in 2016 and 2022.
A photo with me and Sam & Patches from 2016, and a photo I took last year in 2022.

"Mind the gap" is the warning I remember hearing while boarding the underground train in London many years ago. When I took this photo, no one had yet gotten around to minding and mending the gap in the rear wall of a local barn. However, the gap gave me a nice chance to explore wood patterns and textures photographically.

Long ago, in NYC, I was boarding the ferry to visit the Statue of Liberty. A ferry employee was standing at the ferry boarding portal. Over and over, as we boarded, he said what sounded to my western USA ears like "loya hid, loya hid." When I banged my head on the iron at the top of the boarding portal, he said, in his best NewYork-ese, "See, loya hid" (iower your head).

Series of five including two videos. Monday it was very windy and very little was flying. The sea was nearly on hightide and starting to wash the bottom on the cliffs at Birling Gap. One pic shows a recent cliff fall which has led to the National Trust cafe being closed. They intend to move it further inland. Erosion has taken many buildings in this particular area and does not intend to stop any time soon!
Bears Breast on the left, the Dutch Miller Gap in the middle and Little Big Chief on the right. Reflected in the evening light across the pond at Pedro Camp.

Alpine tarns on the slopes of Mt. Rainier, just below Panhandle Gap. The V-22 in the next photo came over us from just to the right of the peak on the left.
*One of my favourite views, looking northwards through the Tebay Gap.
The M6 motorway can be seen bottom left and again in the cutting on the fellside middle left. Below the M6 is the older form of transport, the mainline railway line, which dates from the 1840s.
Below the M6 and the railway line is the lovely river Lune, here still in its infancy and just before it enters the Lune Gorge.
The day this photo was taken the clouds were moving rapidly overhead and their shadows played across the landscape, highlighting the meadow of buttercups and daisies, the fields where the hay had been gathered in, the pastures, and the wooded slopes of the Howgills on the right of the scene.
Northwards there are the Shap fells, Carlisle and Scotland.
*Apologies to Mert for deleting the first shot I placed & upon which he commented. I chose the wrong photo!!

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
The old tobacco barn: it has been attended to, propped up in places. I think it will stay standing a while.
There was a period of time from 2014 to 2018 when I left Flickr to give Tumblr a go. This happened to coincide with a period of time when my kids were small and pretty cute. Ever since coming back to Flickr, I've hated that such an important period is missing here... These photographs fill that gap.
Seen along the Winter Trail in the Lehigh Gap area in Pennsylvania.
