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.

Colour version of a previous post, although this one has a couple of people on the left hand hill which lends a bit of scale to the scene. Sycamore Gap on Hadrians Wall.
