Chasing the Golden light

This weekend saw another visit to the The Avenue of Beech Trees up at Bradbury Rings, near Kingston Lacy, Wimborne. The colours in the canopy of the avenue had turned further, with many leaves having already fallen, but as the sun shone and lowered in the sky, the leaves captured the colours and glowed.

The road was very busy and it took many attempts to get shots clear of cars, lorries and vans. There were also many neavy clouds in the skies, which the sun kept hiding behind, so it was a day of patience.

The avenue was bathed in light, but the branches of the trees captured my attention as theyv were swaying in the breeze, but bending under their own weight and almost touching the grass floor. The patterns formed by the trunks and the branches were wonderful and mixed in with the colours, made a scene worth capturing.





As the branches curved and bent over they formed a 'tunnel' of there own down the avenue.
