Silver Birch in Chew valley

Silver Birch in Chew valley
The steep walk from Dovestones to the top of Chew reservoir might be arduous but it has its rewards. Not least, this lovely Silver Birch tree. Another favourite tree for me with a few snaps of it now over the years. It looks good in all seasons but I do like it in this kind of light and background.

Nice full screen

Herb Riddle club has replied to Steve Paxton club
I feel for you Steve - so much warmth instead of this cold wind and snow but I must admit this cold weather has its compensations now and again with light on views like this here. Thanks for enjoying this with me and you never know- you may well get a chance to walk our Pennines again someday.

Herb Riddle club has replied to TOZ club
You are so kind Toz. This morning it would have been even better and as I write this I can see the snow glistening on the tops around their with full rare sun on them. As you can see, I have a few of these lone trees and the ones I put into the CWP were nice too. You HONOUR me with this comment and gold star!

Cheers, Herb

ps, I did in fact get out and took some more nice shots in better snow near me this morning too.

Glad you enjoyed this. I am happy that your homeland has the snow it justly deserves and looks perfect in. The snow was good, I saw too, for the Lauberhorn race.

Nicely done Herb. The square makes this even more a profound moment in time.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Frank J Casella
Thanks so much Frank, so glad you liked it. Very happy that you mentioned this square format too, the original wide did look fine but, like you decided that this centrally located tree required to be at the side more and in this format.

Best Wishes, Herb

I applaud you Herb...............for struggling up that steep walk and for this splendid image..!!

The square format works perfectly for the shape of the tree and the slope of the hills in the background,. The diffused light is lovely as is the colour palette. A first-class winter landscape..!!

Another for the box labeled 'Nice one's from Herb' Keith. Got to admit that i try hard to please my viewers on here and when I see comments such as yours it make sit all worthwhile. Of course, this is my 'bread & butter' landscape photography and a relatively small hike in weather like this is a small price to pay -if pay is the right description. very happy that you liked the format and colours on here.

Cheers, Herb
