Another from the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. I just love how the prevailing sea wind has caused this tree to bow over the gravestones. It looks as though the tree is trying to provide them some protection from the elements.

You're right Adrian, the sculptural effect of the wind is quite magical. definitely a shot that works best in B/W - especially with the applied vignetting.

Wow, beautiful shot. I love the contrast and the way the tree seems to form a roof over the grave stones, perfect in black and white as well.

Great shot, this works stunningly in black and white. Love the dark tones, and the way the tree at the top plays with the rest of the lines in the image!!!
