    There was this tree......

    It's no surprise that a great many hot-air balloon pilot's stories begin "Well, there was this tree....."

    I noticed this specimen on a local farm today. I have toned down the surroundings and accentuated the tree.

            Very nice John and the slight desaturation of the background has given it a bit of punch

            Sadly, I suspect that ivy will be doing the tree no end of harm, though

            Cheers,
            John

                  It's not just the positioning and colour of this tree that work for me, John, but I like the bunch of ivy that's made it to the top.

                  Ivy can be very bad news for the host, but has its place in other ways. In some contexts it could be better managed. I once (and only once!) got into bother in a country park for starting to saw ivy off a mature tree. It was as thick as my wrist. 20 years years later the tree is dead.
