Lone church and tree

Its actually St Cyrus Church in the village of St Cyrus, in rural Aberdeenshire. A striking 'Church-of-Scotland'' church built in 1787 and then largely rebuilt in the mid 19th century. Its tall tower and spire make it a local landmark, accompanied here with a lone tree.

Of course for me an exercise in the rule of thirds again.

Herb Riddle replied to Malik Raoulda:

Malik, you, like me, know that sometimes simplicity is the key to some landscapes. When I saw this I was reminded of my lone trees photo that I now show in the Pip. Very happy that I continue to have you with me with these photographs.

My Best Wishes, have a great weekend, Herbert

A deceptively simple composition Herb.................but it works beautifully. Well done!

I remember the image in the PiP - I liked it then and I haven't changed my mind since!

Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

I have to work hard to keep you on-board my friend. I try to alter my landscapes somewhat and unlike you and many other Ipernity members, I rarely take photos of flowers and the like. Glad you still enjoyed the PiP photo. ~ Herb
