its neat to walk through a cemetery and come across family names that are part of the area's history.
This is the other side of the tree in the previous post...with the same treatment...producing a different creation...I had so much fun with this, I can't wait to show you what came out of the top of the tree!
With love

Ross Rapid Symmetrical lens 9x7 size f 9. Ross started making the Rapid Symmetrical from c1874 in a good range of sizes. Taken at f 17 (No.4 stop), at this aperture edge fall-off is still considerable.
ancient sweet chestnut tree. It can be found encircled by a small fence on the drive to Temple Newsam House, in the Leeds City Council-owned Temple Newsam park. It’s thought to be 350 years old, and local folklore says it’s one of two trees that were planted in memorial of two still-born infants

I am never happy about trees being cut down but in this instance I do not know the full story and may never do so.
Having read the news about the petition I decided to visit Fairview to see what the fuss was about and also it was a good excuse to visit the area.
According to one local that I spoke to the City Council is planning to remove about fifty trees in order to make way for a new cycle path but a second lady explained that as the trees will be replaced by the Corpo [Dublin City Council] she was not interested in the petition.
As the planting began in 1906 some of the trees are over a hundred years old and according to the City Council officials some of the older trees are distressed because of restricted growing space and need to be felled regardless of their plans for a cycleway.
On the main Fairview road there is a large number of trees marked with yellow bands and I assume that these are the trees destined for the chop. However, according to some online accounts it is the trees along the park’s main footpath that are under threat. I think that some reports have used stock photographs of random trees in the park.

A wedding was being shot at the manor when we were there and Helena thought that the bride was a real princess. Helena kept trying to run over to the bride while the photographer was posing bride and groom shots. She was really upset that she couldn't go play with the "priincess". The wedding party loved Helena and the limo driver gave her one of the plastic flowers from the car.

This is my friend photographer, Felipe Cabrera, creeping into the frame. It was a very interesting tree, full of knots that showed signs of times passed. We came across this tree during our recent trip to a couple of Pennsylvania State Parks.

Beautiful pink blossoms on an old cherry blossom tree: this year I tried experimenting with more distant photos rather than focussing on close-up shots. The contrast between the blue sky and the pink blossoms was fabulous!
Also have a look at my website at www.focx.de :)

In the park -
it use to be a magnificent tree in the park, I remember it from my childhood, but now just 1/4 of the tree left alive.
They really should grow another trees from its seeds to replace this old tree..
Later: 2019: This tree does not exist anymore.
“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...
...and you finish off as an orgasm.”
(George Carlin, Famous American Comedian)
