End of an Alder

[Pete Askew]

Taken on Boxing Day, these are the wood chips laying on the ground where they are clearing the Alders from the fen at Greywell. When felled this wood takes on a bright orange colour, here seen contrasted against the dark soil of the fen.

Lovely picture of a sad ending. I'm no tree-hugger per se, but I hate to see a tree felled, unless it poses a danger to passers-by or something. However, I love the colors in this. That orange wood fairly jumps right out. Very nice Pete!

Nicely observed Pete - and quite an amazing colour
