I took this photo at Yorkshire Scuplture Park last weekend because it reminded me of a fairytale wood, and I loved all the roots running through the ground.
I'm going to make this my submission for the IAE creative challenge this week.
I love trees - I find them somehow quite calming. Especially those huge, majestic ones with gnarled branches that look like they've been alive for hundreds of years. Maybe there's something about being in the presence of that sort of longevity that helps give a sense of perspective..?
PS it's my birthday tomorrow, and I'm planning to announce a little giveaway this week to celebrate, so keep a lookout!

Before I forget, have a lovely birthday tomorrow. I hope it is memorable.
ReplyDeleteThese trees are fantastic. Like you, I became enamored by the roots and how they reached above ground.
Of course, I also liked the rest of the photos from Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Those sculptures are incredible. Of course, I also like the trees because they are for the IA challenge. Everything is truly lovely.
A very Happy Birthday tomorrow honey.
ReplyDeleteI hope your day is very special.
Love this photo. Makes me want to go outside this evening and take pictures of these massive oaks where I live.
Hope your doing well
Love
Maggie

It does look like a magical wood. You should stop there for tea with the faeries on your birthday.xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous, Angie! Such a beautiful place to take a stroll.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo! Yes, I know what you mean about there being something to being in the presence of longevity. I've written a few times on the imagined wisdom of trees that have seen so much human folly in their extensive years.
ReplyDeleteAs I'm reaching you on Monday I'm gutted that I'll already be late for your Birthday. I really need to write our team's Birthdays in my diary so I'm not always late!

I am sorry Angie, I knew it was your birthday, but I couldn't get here yesterday as it was my Leo's birthday too! What a lucky day August 7 is!
ReplyDeleteI hope it was a happy day!
Your photo is a beauty. I love the roots.

Beautiful photo. I think you can "feel" that trees are alive when you stand still in a place like that.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Birthday X
I hope you are ok and not effected by the rioting, I know Manchester took a battering last night.
ReplyDeleteI hope this stops soon.
