A walk around Dovestones

A walk around Dovestones
Only metres away from the very lone tree that started my photography hobby on its way, here we are on the higher round walk around this now famous reservoir. This scene from 2013 has altered a little because the stand of high pine trees to the left of the fence has been largely replaced by more native deciduous trees.
The bench, like many around here has been placed as a memorial for someone.
Enjoy full screen.

HBM to all, have a great week.

A perfectly placed bench...............in a wonderful location!

I love the way you've composed this Herb. The trees are a beautiful colour, especially with the light covering of snow and the background hills look magnificent with the clouds/mist on top.

The couple walking away from the camera are great for scale.

HBM to you.......I hope you have a good week.

A great week also to you!

I notice a lot of memorial benches on my travels Herb. A nice idea, but often quite sad when you read them. You have framed this beautiful scene so well and the people enhance it...not that it needs much enhancing ;-) I love the soft tones of the trees. Cheers, Rosa.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thanks Rosa. Yes a lot of benches not only here but lots of places I go to. There are also many memorial trees plantations around here too. Very glad you liked another of my winter shots.

Hi Herb

A very nice picture, which is the sort of snow we used to get years ago..
It would be great to go out in something like that these days!

Best Wishes, HBM, a nice week to come, and stay safe!!

Not sure about HBM. I think I can guess what the letters represent, but it's something (a group I guess) that passed my by somehow.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Andy Rodker club
Hi again Andy. Glad you liked another of my local landscapes.
HBM is another group as you supposed: Happy Bench Friday, inspired by the HFF group no doubt. Ran on the same lines is a bench photo placed in the group on Mondays. Like fence photos I have a number of benches and seats too but have been reluctant to join yet another group of this type, yet here I am.

Keep safe. Herb
