Northumberland National Park

Branching out
Sycamore Gap
by Pete Rowbottom

I've always wanted to come here and see this tree, yes it's a tree, but probably the most famous tree in the UK, and in a stunning location I've wanted to walk for a long time too along Hadrians Wall, a trip to the North East coast provided the ideal detour en route and a silly early start from Wigan allowed for a decent time of day to shoot it, it was quite obvious on the way up fog was the order of the day which suited me fine as I love these conditions and no doubt it will be the olny time I get to shoot this place in fog. After I'd taken these and walked back within 10 minutes every last bit of fog had gone, totally vanished and it was transformed into bright daylight, totally different, yes you could see a LOT more - ie something past the end of your finger... but the atmosphere had waned hugely.

I was requested to visit Hadrian's Wall on Wednesday to take some pics. Not really a hardship especially as it was nice and quiet. :)

I had no plans to visit Cawfield Quarry on Hadrians wall, but when nature calls ................. As I was there, I went for a rather cold plodge in the lake and captured the moon rise above the quarry.
