Scruffy and overgrown it may be but at this time of year this patch of land on Saltaire Road is transformed by a row of very old flowering cherry trees, which burst into a riot of blossom for a short while. When the wind gets up (as it usually does) the neighbouring streets are carpeted with petals.
Wycliffe Primary School, a little further down the road, also has a cherry tree. (It used to have a matching pair either side of the entrance but for some reason one was felled.) I decided a little experimenting was in order here, layering several shots of the same tree taken from slightly different viewpoints (a variation of something called the Pep Ventosa technique). You can never have too much blossom.
Nature has a very skilful way of hiding our eyesores.
ReplyDeleteMy neighbour has a large cherry tree. The blossomed branches reach out over our garden, simply beautiful!
