I've always enjoyed images with a single tree as the subject, dunno why just have lol

So, whilst on a walk today, I thought I'd try and capture my own, and here goes:

Horizon is probably tilted, but we were on sloping land...

I think it's fair to say that I have a bit of an obsession with this topic. I've been searching for the classic shot for years and not really got anything that's quite right.

I even bought lonelytree.co.uk to host my personal gallery website when I ever get round to making it.

That's a very nice lonely tree shot. :thumbs:

Hmmm!!!! I didnt realise it was a 'cult thang' :lol:

Maybe we should have a 'Post your lonely tree'/ next fortnightly assignment thread ... or would I just end up even more frustrated! :p
