On our way to see the company that is going to make my son's officer's sword took a detour. By now it was lashing down with rain! I do not see that house surviving there much longer.
Best viewed in large.
The Sycamore Gap tree is one of most photographed in the country. It stands in a dramatic dip in Hadrian’s Wall in the Northumberland National Park. In late 2016 it took the crown for English Tree of the Year in the Woodland Trust’s awards.
Here is a view upstream from the previous photograph on the ascent to Upper Falls. The trail was a raw bushwhack up the slick boulders on the right. Somewhere above that top view, as I was crossing the creek from creek-side right to creek-side left, i lost traction in my hiking shoes on slick rocks in the bottom of the creek bed and went down in a waist deep section of the creek. My Olympus OM-D E M1 Mk III camera was mounted to a Cotton Carrier on the left strap of my backpack and the camera and lens were completely submerged underwater. My backpack was also submerged ( I was carrying two additional cameras). I made it back up and out to the side without being adversely affected by the swift current. When I reached the Upper Falls, I checked out my camera and it worked flawlessly. There is something to be said for IP53 weather sealing on Olympus Camera Bodies and Lenses. As a matter of fact, this photo was made on my return trip with the same camera and lens. As you can see, the terrain in the Low Gap wilderness is rugged, isolated and wild. There is no way to descend into the creek gorge from either side of the creek as the forested mountains soar over 1000 feet in elevation. and there are no trails whatsoever. If you appreciate solitude, then this is the perfect sojourn.
Birling Gap, England, United Kingdom.
Received 18/20 in the Southwick Camera Club Open Print competition, judge Robin Harmsworth.
When I first visited Birling Gap in 1996 there was still at least 5 cottages as opposed to the current 4. By 2058 the cliff line is expected to have receded so that all four cottages shall have disappeared and the current visitor centre (formerly the Birling Gap Hotel) shall likewise have gone into the sea.
My Dad and I did the Greater Allegheny Passage Trail from Frostburg to Pittsburgh last week. Amazing trip, highly recommended.

This sycamore tree sits alone and sheltered in the dip of a hill right next to Hadrian's Wall. For the movie buffs among you, Kevin Costner fought some ruffians at it in "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves".

The upper cloud looks a bit like a map of the UK...
The cliff is eroding fast, I don't know how much longer the remaining three houses will be there. There is a metal staircase to allow you to get down to the beach. 176 in Explore on 22nd August 2015.
There are interesting historic pictures of the cottages here.

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.

Last weekend I was down on the coast with Murphyz and Marshallfish . We had some great weather and clouds for a great sunset at Birling Gap. Birling Gap is on the south coast of England near Eastbourne. This area is part of the National Trust.
Pine Gap, the U.S. CIA/NSA base via Alice Springs Australia. Subject of a fictional 6 part Netflix drama series, this base makes the world a safer place. Rumored to go at least 10 stories underground, it monitors nuclear testing and potential launches from the Middle East to the Mid Pacific. Its 1000 employees also play a pivotal global role as the eyes and ears of the U.S. and Australian militaries and intelligence agencies.
We found this place from a painting in the farmhouse that we were staying at! It was really beautiful, although it took a lot of work to get an interesting shot with such dull weather and flat light!
Three exposures blended, ranging from 15s to 60s...
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!
