Uppark House and Copper Beech

Thank you so much Annemarie.

I agree, that is a beautiful copper beech that sits nicely with the fabulous house and the lovely light in this well composed image, Keith.
To my shame, I knew nothing of this beautiful house until now, but will be researching it a little later.

Thank you kindly! The beech looks pretty nondescript in the winter, but my goodness, what a change in the spring! Glad you like it Roger.

Uppark is a lovely place to visit...........not huge, but it's fairly close to where I live and a good place to go when I don't have much time. It was almost destroyed a few years back by a fire, the restoration work has been awesome!

That day, I'd gone there with a friend to try and shoot some Red Kites and Kestrels, but failed miserably as, although there were quite a few around, they never came close enough to get a decent photo. Lovely to watch though.

Der Gang hat sich gelohnt, Keith! Das prächtige Haus und die mächtige Rotbuche ergänzen sich wunderbar. Eine schön gestaltete Aufnahme!
Ich wünsche dir einen schönen Sonntag!
