Shot narrative:
Devoid of rocks to clamber across, I was feeling just far too sensible, so I decided to climb a tree with one hand (the other holding the camera of course – so Mr Oubridge – no tripod used!) so that I could get it from a different angle.

Another great shot Stuart, again the colour in this brilliant and I love the framing of it with the overhanging trees. Well worth climbing the tree to get this angle!

Super shot again Stu…nice bands of colour….like the framing the trree gives.
Graeme Pettit ...
Truly glorious. Such richness in that blood red which occurs as the angle shallows and the gaps fill – lovely graduation. You should have gone higher – might have seen the sea! LOL

Stupid O’clock, and now you are climbing TREES??? Is there no limit to your dedication to your art? Rhana is afraid of heights, and you already know how she feels about mornings
