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

The wide opened arms rain provider seems to surge from millions of light years of the deepest space, for a very steady little tree, as Anne says, a biblical scene…
