Cornwall Park

Winter trees really get a chance to show off their shapes. After seeing the severe pruning on the trees near @ethelperry the other day, I was pleased to see these trees were left to grow to their full potential.

Good to see the Plane/plain tree being able to spread their wings...

Lovely old trees.......just wondering what is the history of the name 'Cornwall Park'.......as I live in Cornwall UK......wondered if it was a mining area and some 'Cousin Jack's' had emigrated there for work ???

Beautiful tree - and your capture of it wonderful. It looks great on black.
A FAV!

How beautiful. You really get how I felt about the gross amputation I witnessed. It is different from judicious pruning for whatever reason. Beautiful photo

[Henri Russell]

Really pretty. I love to see the different shapes of the branches in winter. Nice composition.

@cutekitty here’s the link about it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornwall_Park,_Auckland

@cutekitty In about 1840 many people from England and Scotland started to colonise NZ, so we have lots of place names and cultural practices reflecting this ( including a hot Christmas Day dinner and plum pudding on a sweltering summers day!)

Magnificent trees, love those massive trunks!

Lovely composition, light and framing Dianne:)

You have reminded me that I should go to the botanic garden to shoot the tree trunks before spring arrives.

@dide Welkl...thank you for that information.....just as I thought........I bet you have Cornish Pasties for lunch too !

[julia]
