Spanish Chestnut.  by snowy

Spanish Chestnut.

There are a lot of these ancient Spanish Chestnut trees in the grounds of Croft castle. I like the gnarled twisted trunks and branches .I took this photo into the sun ,I quite like the way it turned out sooc.
Oh it's beautiful Diana - are those cows or sheep?!

WOW WOW WOW... Diana, this is the best image I´ve seen in your album. In fact this image is so fantastic that I am faving it. I´m not really the one who favs many pics unless they:

1. are absolutely fantastic
2. give me an idea for a future shot
3. are fabulous animal (specially dog) picture (you know I am vet, so I am naturally attracted to them)
4. are tecnically spotless
5. inspire me good feeling or touch my heart

Oh well... I´ve this one because your image fits all the 5 criteria above ;)

Well done... one of the best images I´ve faved this month.

@snowy No we're in Suffolk but some of my husband's relations lives in Yarpole, we visit quite often; his cousin volunteers at Croft Castle.
January 17th, 2012  
Yarpole is only a few miles away from us , after I asked if you were nearby I looked you up and saw you are in Suffolk

This is so beautiful, I like how the dark gnarled tree and the softness of the misty trees work so well together. You would think that the tree would dominate the shot but somehow it doesn't. fav
