Lone tree in Hampshire

Lone tree on a stormy day in Shropshire, England, UK

I love so called bad weather! When the skies are angry, they also provide inspiration. Cycling regularly around various parts of the UK and witnessing the weather changing hour by hour, it becomes obvious why the UK countryside has inspired so many poets and painters….and erm…you know…photographers!

And here is a photograph of a tree in Shropshire….and I can tell you that that was some rainstorm in the top right…but it was over almost as quickly as it started….

I wonder what the story of this tree is? There must be a reason why it hasn’t been chopped down by the farmer…maybe in times gone by it provided shelter for the farm workers….

  • Les arbres solitaires sont toujours très attirants. J’aime ici le froid du ciel et le chaud de la terre.

  • Classic landscape, with a solitary tree in balance with a vast field, an atmospheric sky, and beautiful light. It must be fun cycling around the countryside, and seeing an inspiring vista such as this!

  • How many stories have this tree to tell? At least she have the story of solitude…
    Beautiful photography.
