So I go to see that old tree as I always do when I'm around the Westwood and I found it surrounded by cars. There's usually a couple of cars parked here, people visiting the place and that's no problem but the other day I counted sixty or so cars on this stretch and I doubt there were sixteen people on the Westwood that afternoon. Clearly the place has become a 'free' car park for people working in the town. I could see there's damage to the road edge and footpath so this is going to cause trouble sooner or later. I read somewhere that cars spend over 90% of the time parked up and I guess they have to go somewhere but on the local beauty spot? Surely not.
The Weekend in Black and White is here.
You will have to set up a sign explaining that this is a car free area because of your photography project of the old tree.
ReplyDeleteA great b&w composition!
ReplyDeleteLovely silhouettes!
I don't much like cars, but that one has an interesting shape. Shame the tree is almost hidden.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo in B&W :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful old tree.
ReplyDeleteSad that the old tree has some metallic competition. But the tree still peeks out with its own special beauty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, stately tree. It's a shame to see it surrounded by parked cars.
