This is in dedication to my dad who was a forester. He loved this spot and took good care of all the beautiful land entrusted to him.

This is Maid Marian. I might be weird but I don’t picture Maid Marian was a simpering, dress wearing, maid that was worried about getting down with the guys. In my imagination she picked up a bow and arrow and fought with the best of them. She cared for her people enough to fight for them, even if that meant outside the law at times. She was passionate and strong. Thats my vision of maid Marian, the perfect companion for Robin Hood. In other words…...She was kick-ass!

Sherwood Hall / Restored colonial home of 1850’s pioneers Thomas Johnson (ex-convict) and Dolly Dalrymple Briggs (part-aboriginal) / Sherwood Hall is believed to be the oldest house in Latrobe, built between 1848-1850 by Thomas Johnson, a pioneer and settler who began life in Van Dieman’s Land as a convict and his wife Dolly Dalrymple Briggs, the first part aboriginal. / Thomas Johnson moved to the Mersey in 1845 and took over the tenancy of “Frogmore” and during this time began to acquire a considerable amount of property. Some 500 acres of land in the Tarleton area where he opened up a coal mine, and 500 acres at Sherwood, southwest of Frogmore, where he and Dolly built “Sherwood Hall”. / Sherwood Hall was occupied until 1970 when a major flood made it no longer habitable. Advice received indicated that the property was one of the most unique wooden colonial homes in Australia and that the building should be preserved at all costs. A decision to restore this unique pioneering couple’s home was made some twenty years ago but did not eventuate until 1991 when a special meeting was called. This meeting formed a steering committee of interested persons, including descendants. / A target of $9,000 was set which would enable the proposed site at Bell’s Parade to be prepared and the house prepared for relocation on the new foundation. Support and assistance was gained from the Mersey Skill Training Centre who carefully numbered and recorded every piece of timber to enable accurate re-erection. / When Sherwood Hall was relocated on site in Bell’s Parade there was much more to be done. The weatherboards on all walls except under the verandah had to be renewed and shingles for the roof had to be found. Internal doors to suit the era had to be found or made, windows and hand made bricks for the chimneys to be obtained. It seemed a mammoth task but the work was completed in accordance with approved heritage processes. / “Sherwood Hall” was officially opened on Tasmania Day, 26th November, 1995 and was also the anniversary of 150 years since Thomas and Dolly came to the Sherwood and Tarleton area. / The building has become a monument to the history of our early settlers and also acts as a museum displaying many items that were used widespread during the era.

On a recent trip with two of my good friends George and / Ted to Sherwood Pines near where I live, we spent the afternoon enjoying a picnic with our family and friends and going for walks along the paths of this ancient wood. We spent time photographing the lovely scenery and the tiny world that it provides for. Most of our time was taken up with shooting macros of the plants and insects that call this lovely place home. But we did manage to get shots of lovely broken lighted paths like this. We all set about to capture this path in different ways and from different angles. I did take some straight shots which were nice, but didn’t capture the feel or character of the scene. I then decided to photograph this in HDR to capture all the lovely lighting. This is exactly what it was like. My HDR is a success. Thank youto my wonderful friends for such a great day out. Can’t wait to arrange another soon. / / This is a HDR image combining 5 bracketed shots, using Photomatix Pro for Macs. There was no need for any tome adjusting in Tone Mapping.

I was walking around Sherwood Forest, taking in the beauty and the history and came face to face with this character. It certainly made me catch my breath and I stood there silently for quite a while. I saw the true spirit of the forest emerging right from the earth. Very special….

For Jan….I’m afraid I couldn’t hug this one…....lolol This forest veteran is a huge oak tree thought to be around 800 years old. In a 2002 survey, it was voted “Britain’s favourite tree”. According to local lore, its hollow trunk was used as a hideout by Robin Hood’s men. / Today, the world famous tree weighs an estimated 23 tonnes, its trunk circumference is 33 feet (10m) and its branches spread to over 92 feet (28m).
