Determination

I showed this tree here and very different weather conditions today. Cold and a sea breeze but beautiful sunshine.
The roots are clinging onto the bank firmly and this little oak tree is showing signs of life .
I live on the West side of Hayling Island and we get strong south westerly winds. This side of the island is suffering from coastal erosion and I fear that it will only get worse in part because of changing climate but also because of a substantial sea wall that has been built on the far side of the harbour.

Lovely capture!

[summerfield]

is it salt water or fresh water? very nice shot and paintable but with snow. aces!

[Susan Wakely]

@summerfield salt water. As an island we are surround by the sea and this view is across the harbour. Maybe this is a scene that you can paint.

It’s definitely hanging on for dear life!
I was on Hayling a few weeks back.

Nicely captured and the perfect title!

[Delwyn Barnett]

A gnarled little tree. I am sure the roots go down deep because of the wind.
