Shade Tree

'Shade Tree'

 

I've been wanting to shoot this tree for some time now for several reasons. I like the shape - lots of character, it's close to home - less fuel cost and so on, but mainly because I once took a fancy to photographing it and it's bugged me ever since.

 

Being that I drive past it at least twice every working day, that's a long time of being bugged.

 

I eventually got the wellies on to wade through the cow muck a couple of days ago, and found that I'd maybe left it a bit late in the year for what I really, really wanted as there have been a lot of leaves come off it, however I used my ten-stop filter to take advantage of the breeze and got an image that I really like.

 

I know it'll still irritate me until next summer when all the leaves are on though!

 

p.s. It's called 'Shade Tree' as the herd of cows goes under there to shelter on the hot days.
