One Tree Hill

This is a volcanic hill in Auckland. It used to have a big pine tree on the top but that's another story! It has farmland around it which is grazed with sheep and cattle and forms part of Cornwall Park. A pretty neat place to see the countryside without having to leave the city!
Here's the link to what happened to the pine tree.

Gorgeous composition and processing.

Fascinating background to this shot/scene. And a strong composition in memory of the One Tree.

Thanks for the background story, very interesting and gives a lot of meaning to your shot. Love the use of b&w in this one.

Nice capture. I used that tree to navigate my way around Auckland. Been lost ever since it went :)

This is a great shot of One Tree Hill. My son lives close to here and wants me to get a photo for him. Mine were pretty awful, but that was a while ago and I think I have improved a bit since starting 365

@dkbarnett Thanks - this is the view from around by the archery site.

[Delwyn Barnett]

@dide Oh yes I see that now - that is close to Campbell Road and only 5 minutes walking from my son's house.

@dkbarnett a nice view as there's lots of pohutukawa on tithe skyline.
