Today, yesterday? I took a detour down an old road I haven't been along for years, in the past a favourite place of mine. I spotted a windswept old Yew, an outstanding example, but the roots and lower trunk really caught my attention. I didn't have my camera with me, cursing a bit because the afternoon light was good, I suddenly realised I did have a camera (of sorts) with me, my trusty iPhone 6 plus. I thought a would give it a try, nothing to loose. I have turned off that annoying feature which it has of taking a series of exposures the choosing the 'best', so it was a simple single exposure, no HDR.
There is no bark on the trunk or roots, the lines of wood grain are the actual core wood of the tree, how it draws sap I have no idea. The tree is healthy and green, right next to the Leven estuary, part of Morecambe bay.
I processed it in Photo's on my iMac. What do you think? I have another of the whole tree, I might be persuaded to post that here as well if you don't laugh at this one too much!
