Avenue of Beeches

This avenue of beeches is along the B3082 which is the main route between Wimborne and Blandford. There were originally 365 trees along one side and 366 along the other side. The National Trust care for them as part of the Kingston Lacy Estate and have so far replaced some seventy of them with hornbeams, which are just as attractive but are better able to withstand the disadvantages of being alongside a busy road. Originally planted by William John Bankes for his mother, Frances.

Our thoughts are with Andy Rodker at this time and wish him a speedy recovery. I seem to remember that this is a road he knows well.

Lovely perspective, Rosa looking along the road. I love the dip. The roadway and the white lines act as great lead-in lines to draw the eye into the scene. The shapes of the beech trees are magnificent. The variety of colours in the foliage is very spectacular. All the best, Joe

This was always part of m favourite route to Bournemouth from Shaftesbury and there was a very good shot of it on Panoramio that had an incredible number of visits.
I knew that there had to be something wrong with Andy as usually he never misses a day, but I saw that he was making the odd reply. We wish you well Andy

Yes mine too Nick. We used to go to the motorbike scrambles with my father at Badbury Rings and always loved this road. I hope we soon see Andy back with his photos Nick.
All the best ~ Rosa.

This is a great perspective Rosa..............I hope you weren't sitting in the middle of the road to take this!

The trees either side of the road are really lovely and the road has provided you with some perfect leading lines. I love it..!!

Have I missed something to do with Andy? I know his health is not too good, but it sounds like he's taken a turn for the worse!

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Haha, almost Keith. The road was very quiet for once. It was a really quick shot ;-)
I had an email from Isabel saying that Andy is very ill and she has started a group (Pictures for Andy) to send him photos and wish him well. I hope he soon recovers and we see him back on Ipernity.

Thank you for your kind comments Keith.

Thank you Jean. My father used to take us to motorbike scrambles which were off this road, so I have been travelling along it for most of my life, and have always loved it. Let's hope Andy soon recovers.

A really fine composition Rosa. Love the perspective and that wonderful dip in the road. The trees lining each side of the road accentuate the depth of this great shot. Thanks for the notes, very interesting.

Rosa, debes subir las fotos para todos excepto para mí, porque llevo varias que no las veo y he de venir a tu galería. Esta fotografía es muy buena, me gusta mucho, esas carretearas así, con esas curvas y cambios de rasante y más escoltadas por el arbolado y bien pintadas, dan una imagen muy bonita. Y conseguiste buena profundidad de campo.

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club

I cannot understand why you don't see them under "News"....it is a mystery to me. I seem to have the same problem with a couple of people, so I just visit their galleries each day to see whether they have uploaded a picture or not. It is a nuisance I know. This was a very quick shot, so I was quite pleased. The road was not as busy as it usually is.
