Simon-

Thought I might see Harry Potter up there on a branch! This indeed looks like a very old tree, perhaps split by lightning a couple of hundred years ago. Nice capture.

Truly beautiful, Si...the composition is great and I love the colors.

Thanks both. There might be no Harry Potter, Tracy, but we did see an owl in another tree while en route to this place, which is unusual at lunchtime.....

Very nice and beautiful nature pic,i like the colors.

Very nice, Simon. I like a lot!

Thank you, Joost and Pierre.

that image is incredible...how did you get that Ent to pose for that shot?

wow! I absolutely love this!! wonderful tree! a great shot Si!

lol - now you've pointed it out, Jason, I can see that it can't be a tree cos it's walking off down the hill. And thanks, Lucy, I'm glad you like it :-)

This is really a nice shot.

beautiful shot here, keep it up !

gorgeous gnarled old tree, beautiful shot!

Thank you all for your kind comments :-)

Great picture.

This tree looks fantastic, so gnarled and twisted.

very nice shot! well done, I love nature shots like this!

Hinting at the Whomping Willow p'raps? ;) Love this shot. The tree's got a wonderful branch network & that's a good angle of a shot youve got going there, Simon. Pardon me but what could "Hünross Gwaynten" possibly mean?

Thank you all. "Hünross Gwaynten" is Cornish for "Dream of Spring", Jillica - thanks for your interest :-)

Not just a pretty tree picture, but a nice turn of phrase.

I like old trees a lot, so this pleases me very much! Good work.

This is a great old tree, just begging to be climbed or swung from. Thanks for capturing it!

This is indeed a splendid old tree. This is a fabulous shot. Great image. This picture is very nice!

I can't believe I never spotted this one in your gallery. Great shot, Si.

What a grand ole tree. This the "GrandPappy" of trees. Lots of character. How old do you think this is? Almost more tree than a camera can capture. great fine. Glad you shared it. Good work.

beautiful, and gnarly ;)

You have to respect this gentleman! What a history the tree must have...I love the skeletons of trees...Thanks for sharing...what you must have thought when you discovered this beautiful tree! Bill.

A final comment...the word "gnarly" is quite appropriate as stated just before my thoughts!

Great clarity and contrast. Indeed its a splendid old tree, and a stunning new image. Thanks for sharing.
