Hedge Oaks

A mild autumn has left many trees in leaf far later than usual, and these oaks are an example. The terrain in this part of Creuse is not suitable for large scale cereal growing - it is mainly beef farming country, so most of the fields are quite small, and many are still separated by hedgerows that are often hundreds of years old.

My first efforts with PC-Glycol and medium format, - I was careless about the exposures, and the film was also over developed, but worth going on with!
