A portrait version of this shot

These are 300 year old beach trees and getting to the end of their natural life. When touring around Northern Ireland we were lucky enough to see a couple of photos of this place and eventually managed to find a toutrist info person that knew where they were. So with the sun low in a September sky we headed out and found possibly the most stunning bit of road I have ever been on in my life!

    Stunning light but those curved trunks and branches are something no-one could manipulate. Amazing shot! It certainly draws the viewer in.
