"Flame Red When Torn..."

Pete Askew · Jan 1, 2012

Self seeded rather than planted but seeming now just a stain on the ground where once another Alder stood.

Leica M9 + 35mm Leica Summilux M 1:1.4. ISO 160 1/30s f1:14.0/ PP in LR, PS and ColorFX 4.

Really cool shot Pete. Hard to make oot what it is. Is it the trunk?

Pete Askew · Jan 1, 2012

Yes. All that's left. Cut flush with the ground using a clearing machine. I guess they'll pull the stumps out later as they are restoring the fen.
