Photographer’s Note
Shot one morning last week, this is one of my favourite trees - if it is possible to have a favourite tree :-) The fields were shrouded in early morning mist, but the sunshine was already starting to light up the landscape.

Wow Tim,
This is a beautiful one! You surely know by now that I like foggy pictures! :) But, I can tell you that I also like trees! And yes, it is possible to have a favourite tree, for sure! And its a truly special one. I like the play of light and shadow here, and you suceed well about that in this picture. Nice colors, the sun and the frost on the vegetation. Yes, a very beautiful one... I like it a lot!

Tim, what a beautiful photo showing the rewards of getting up early in the day. When the sun comes up all sorts of things happen that gets me really excited. I love it! I have taken one amazing morning capture this August that I would love you to see . Take Care.

Hi Tim,
Lovely tree! Good winter composition. It must be really cold, looking at the ice on the vegetation on the side of the road. I like this lighting and the contrast with this dark foreground in the shadow. Well done!
Thanks for sharing your favorite tree. I love trees as well.
Best wishes,
Ricardo

beautiful! i like how you can see the mist low, but the sky looks so clear up above, and that is just a wonderful tree.

Hi Tim
Very nice additions in your gallery sice the last time I visited.
but this one is definitely one of the best.
I don't have any photos of single tree standing out in the sky ... and for that I envy this photo .... and yes this is definitely not any ordinary tree ... it has a very strong character and for that I like this photo .... the road and what looks like some frost on it is a very good addtion for this photo.
This photo kind of reminds me of the time I spent in the rural areas of the Niagara Region in Canada last year.
tfs and thanks for the nostalgie
cheers .... sarju

Hi! Tim,
Just let me know which roads you travel on so I can take special precautions;^)
No Shooting signs, Favourite Trees,........
Yes! I must admit I do the same. I plan for all seasons when viewing potential landscapes and watch how the light plays on those rare misty mornings. If only we had a predictable season like some of those Polish misty scenes of
ziuk
or a proper Canadian Autumn like designersoul's
and Weather like the Dutch Master Carper has.
This is well captured and true to Irish morning light. I wonder what our landscapes would look like if all farmers stripped the creeping ivy from their trees. maybe we will get a European directive to do just that. Thanks for sharing this moring view Brrrr.
Mike.

Hi Tim, a composition with enchantment, I like the light of the sun trying in the morning to undo the fog and the majestic tree watching the way.
Good photo, congratulations. A hug............. Paco

Hallo Tim!
I like this photo very much, because it shows a tree-personality in a little bit mysterious atmosphere. It's a warm light, although temperatures spoke another language, I think. Very well seen! Besides: my favorite-tree is an old chestnut-tree here in my town.
I whish you a happy and peaceful christmas-time and - keep the eyes open!

Lovely shot Tim, I think you must be late for work everyday with all this photography?,for many commuters an empty road like this is just a far off dream!!
Seems like you take timeout to smell the roses.
You should post a photo every season of your favourite tree so we can see how it looks fully clothed.

hi Tim, i suppose if a tree looks like this you can have a favourite one:-) i like the atmosphgere here, a little eery thanks to this mist, on the other hand the colours are so delicate and warm that you feel so relaxed watching it..a really great view, shown in a great shot.
best regards

Hi Tim - wow, amazing, excellent timing, the mist, light and composition are perfect, I just wish the lens was wide enough to include the entire right part of the tree. But I don't suggest sacrificing anything from the left to include it either.
