With a forecast of sun and cloud, it seemed a good day for a walk in Bushy Park. Also, I knew that I would be stuck in front of the PC over the following two days to prepare for the Interim Review so stroll in the fresh air would be good for both body and soul.
My first stop was to revisit the hawthorn nearest to the Shaef Memorial. The following were taken with the digital camera using the polarising filter.
This is a Black & White conversion of this tree that was taken from a very low angle. Very brooding and dramatic.
I also took these images of the Shaef Memorial with the smartphone.
While standing one the memoiral, I took these two images which (in theory) would be the same view from Eisenhower’s Bushy Park office.
I continued walking through the park and decided to focus on this section. There are quite a few hawthorns in this patch.
The following are shots of some of the trees that caught my eye. I don’t think these images will make the final cut, but I will need to re-photograph once the ferns have gone and in a different light.
Tree One
Tree Two
When looking back at these trees, I realised that they were planted in a row.
Tree Four
Tree Five
On first glance, this tree looks like a small hawthorn peeking out the ferns. The trunk of the tree is actually lying on the ground the ‘tree’ that can be seen is one of its branches reaching for the sky.
