Following Izzy's comment, I thought I ought to “do a Brian” and add a little more information on this picture.
Two minutes walk from the centre of Bury St Edmunds is a small car park, at the back of it you can find this very small graveyard, which most people pass without ever noticing.
The graveyard is all that is remaining of an old Baptist Chapel.
In the early 1800’s the membership of this chapel was in the region of 50 people. They called a new young pastor, Cornelius Elvin, and under his ministry the membership rapidly grew to 600. A new 1000 seat chapel had to be built in Garland street (about 300m away) and was opened in 1834, leaving only this little graveyard where the old chapel stood.
Elvin was instrumental in the opening of several other chapels in the surrounding area, Great Barton, Bradfield & Rougham, Glemsford etc., all of which are still active today.
Who planted the tree, I have no idea!
...fall colored trees late at night at a Nissan dealership in Madison, WI. I like the starburst effect from the floodlight on the left, the moving clouds in the 30 second exposure and the blue skies.
This is the upper trunk and limbs of the "Farewell" tree, done in sepia. The pine needles and curving slender twigs almost make it look like the tree is covered in spiderwebs! This group of shots were all taken in a Topeka City Park (named “Big Shunga Park”), not far from our house, and which also borders on a section of the Shunganunga Creek. It has many areas that are very “wild and woodsy!” I had never been in that park before, although I drive by frequently and have always admired a beautiful small grove of aged pine trees that grow there. There is some imperative to photograph these trees as soon as possible, as Eastern Kansas has been hit hard with a fatal (for pine trees) disease called “Pine Wilt.” It is caused by a plant parasitic nematode referred to as the “pine wood nematode.” Thousands of pine trees in our county have already died and, as there’s no real treatment or preventative, probably every pine tree in this area will eventually die from that disease. This photo was taken on 1/07/2012, using a Canon PowerShot A1000-IS.

Tree in center-right is an Alaska yellow cedar (Cupressus nootkatensis). The forest type is a mountain hemlock-silver fir (Tsuga mertensiana-Abies amabilis) forest. Mount Rainier National Park.
Temporary trackage of the WestSide branch laid to reach the Timber, actually a tree that was in the way of the new branchline and felled accordingly. An early version of the Skyline lifting arrangement in use here, speeded the loading process greatly.
A Metasequoia. They are actually critically endangered. The deciduous cousin to the redwoods in america. This one was planted in 1948.
