In the gap by helenhall

In the gap

Here in the gap left after the famous sycamore tree was felled in an appalling act of vandalism last year a small hitherto unnoticed tree stands .

Of course it has nothing like the magnificence and stature of the ancient sycamore but I rather liked the idea that it now has its moment to shine.

I visited this part of Hadrians wall and remember the tree from my childhood. My husband and I also did the same walk to the tree in 2013, The sense of shock on hearing the news that it had been felled overnight has never really left me.

A stark and arresting image. I will never understand some peopleโ€™s need to destroy things of beauty.

A terrible loss; so hard to understand why someone would do that. Your photo is very striking though.
