Thanks Beth. I did take these in colour, but the gorgeous blue of the sky and yellow of the leaves, in that late Autumn sunshine that can be so low and piercing, just looked over-gaudy in small, on-screen photographs. Turning them to black an white conveyed the subtle play of light and shapes much better.
Yesterday our art group did some exercises around trees. How I wish I'd had these images to play with. Black and white shows the essence of structure and form. Superb!

Thanks Dave!
Wow. A totally different way of looking. I especially like the last one, but they're all gorgeous.

That last one looks like some kind of tree god looking down on the viewer! Maybe it's just me. Wonderful photos.
