tree
Black and white view of a tree in the grounds of Ashton court, just outside of bristol, across the suspension bridge. Living in Bristol we are lucky to have lots of green spaces, the downs, blaise castle and ashton court being three of my favourites. This tree always stands out and is one of my favourites, it was one of the first images i converted to B&W.
Taken with Nikon D40, 18-55dx
Ashton Court is a woodland park that was left by it’s owner to the people of Bristol
