Northumberland Landscapes – Lone Northumbrian Tree

Lone Northumbrian Tree


Whilst driving back home, from a days shooting Northumberland landscapes with a fellow togger, we came across one of those situations where the light is so good you just HAVE to stop and take a photograph.

Landscapes


We were anxiously looking for a candidate before the light disappeared when we spotted a lone tree in the middle of a field on the other side of the dual carriageway.

 

Getting the Shot


A quick, but legal, U-turn got us alongside the field, then a mad dash across many flooded furrows and between many mountains of cow-poop got us to the tree just in time to setup and take the shot before the sum dipped into the clouds. Fortuitous timing.

Personally, I am torn between the landscapes, the mono version above or the colour version below? What do you think?
