Just a few more images from Brimham Rocks... The outcrop above is right beside the visitors' centre and refreshment area. The balanced stack in the middle is called the Eagle, though from this angle it doesn't look much like an eagle to me.
The tree below has been photographed a million times! It's a favourite haunt of the birds too.
Personally, I liked the one below the best. It was much further out, on the perimeter walk, and so it is less well known. I loved the way the tree rises from the sinuous cleft in the rock, searching for the light and its freedom. Seen in winter, before it is obscured in leaves, the serpentine shape is pronounced.
I agree; the second tree you showed us is a beauty, as are the rocks in which it is rooted.
ReplyDeleteA landscape of great appeal.
ReplyDeleteThose trees are real survivors.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking rock formations. The trees may survive like that, or may not...it's kind of a toss up whether they get enough food.
