HWW ~ The Sentininel

As we were walking the path above the Lake District lake of Rydal Water I spotted this old dead tree. The sun was lighting it up against the backdrop of the lake below. I loved the way the pointing branches seem to be alive although plainly dead with these harmonic soft colours.
Almost very secondary is the dry stone wall and leafless trees along its base.

Have a good day.

Aye, when I saw this tree against the lake below I knew it was something special. I know that you too would have taken the same photo.

Old dead trees are still alive as they can tell us so many stories...it is a fascinating image Herb, beautifully composed with the tree as a sculpture in a fine light.
