The Old Beech Tree
Summer, yet the depth and colour of last autumns fallen Beech leaves remains.
What is also fascinating is just how such a big tree as this mature Beech manages to find secure rooting on this rocky outcrop. I guess as it has stood solid for several hundred years that those tentacles of roots do dig deep into the ground.
I have been inspired to post this image following several postings of several great images by fellow blogger Charly Senall. It is well worth a look at Charly’s work on his blog at :- https://charlysenall.wordpress.com/2016/06/26/photography-160626/
This image is submitted for this weeks Odd Ball Photo Challenge :- https://ceenphotography.com/2016/06/26/cees-odd-ball-photo-challenge-2016-week-26/

I feel very honored to inspire a master of the forest as you are. Photograph these kings of the forest is very rewarding, and perhaps, serve to protect them better.
Best wishes.

Lets just hope it does…..at times though I have a feeling that our politicians ” cannot see the Wood for the Trees” when t comes to conservation issues (lets not to mention political issues!)

It is a paradox that those who have to solve problems, end up being a major problem. I agree with you, better not talk about politicians, election results in my country still have me in shock.
