Into the Twisted Trees
Photo of the Week by davidstorm
From a morning at Padley Gorge, near Grindleford in Derbyshire yesterday. This is a superb location, almost prehistoric in its look and atmosphere, well worth a visit if you ever get the chance, particularly in Spring when the Bluebells are out or in Autumn / Winter when it becomes a very dramatic landscape.
I'm proud that this image has been selected for 'Explore' in Flickr.

The green trunks and branches seem electrified. Just stunning. A lesson in composition and PP. And yes, "flickr" got it right, all right.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Beautiful composition. I love the way the foreground gives the invitation and the receding background takes it up and continues the journey into the distance.

That is a seriously gorgeous image. As others have said, great composition and like all such images, one can imagine a story. My first thought was 'I'm sure there must be an Ent there.' And yes, I do like The Hobbit.
A well deserved POTW, congratulations.

Sincere thanks to everyone who has commented and liked this image. I was lucky to be in this place on the right day, when there was a touch of mist and rain to bring out the beauty in this woodland. I would highly recommend a visit to this place for anyone within striking distance (it's near Grindleford in the Derbyshire Peak District), it is a unique and stunning landscape, great for just a walk, but fantastic if you are remotely interested in photography.
Best regards
David
