Embracing the coming rain

This tree grows next to a small stream that runs of the moors through the old quarries and lead workings, just off the B6278 road that runs from Stanhope to Eggleston in County Durham.

A wonderful little spot and a place to regain your breath after discovering the hidden hair pin bend.

Converted into a pinhole black and white
