Fence Tree
This tree is located on Harling Point across the Penzance Street from the Chinese Cemetery. It looks as if it has won the contest with the fence.
I took this shot this time last year in the early evening right after sunset. Iwas not satisfied with my processing so put it aside. I have tried again, this time tonemapping the single jpeg that I have, and I am much happier with it. I also cloned out a power line that detracted. And because the low picket fence and not-quite Adirondack chair, and even the metal pole, give it an old fashioned feel, I thought sepia toning would work well

That is one crazy tree, Ehpem! Wow! I love how gnarly it is, and how your processing has brought this all out. The leading line from the front section of fence is perfect, as well, giving a bit of context to the overall scene. Still; that tree is the real star here, that’s an astonishing thing right there!!!

Thanks Toad! I have a soft spot for these old style fences which are sadly on the wane. And every garden should have a tree like this in it.

Thanks Karen – this is a very windy spot, so any tree that gets to a size has to be resilient.

Cool. You know I was imaging what types of creatures would make it their home. Didn’t think of time travellers!
