For this week's Sunday Challenge, for which we were asked to find an S-curve.

We were told if we were really struggling we could simply photograph the letter S, but ideally we were to find something that resembled the S-curve.

Sounded straightforward, but when it came to getting a suitable subject like many I found it to be a more difficult challenge than it first appeared.

In the end I managed to come up with a couple, both taken this week at Newby Hall in North Yorkshire.

This ornate bit of stonework was found on a wall within the grounds, whilst the one in the Notes is of a Willow tree that I noticed had a bizarre S-like twist to the trunk.

Apologies for the late posting and being behind with comments, but the Bank Holiday weekend has been very busy ... so a big thank you to Chris for keeping the 'door' open so that I could still post an entry this week!
