The Rythm of the Trees
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 25 August 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Photographed during a walk in the hills in Corsica where I was on holiday with my family over the last few weeks.
I'd almost forgotten what strong sunlight was like. We had 2 weeks in Corsica of high temperatures, deep blue skies and wonderful Meditteranean light which was really great after the summer of overcast skies and drizzly rain we've had this year at home in Manchester.

Another perfect demonstration of your skills to produce outstanding b/w images. I really like how those trees and the shadows form an angle...

Welcome back Ian - Sounds like a lovely place, where the sun shines all the time? Nice abstractness with the shadows!

powerful B&W image!
The sequential positioning of the tree shadows along the mud road gave [me ] the feel of timelessness

Ian... I will always be a huge fan of your incredible work. I've been trying to catch up with all the posts I've missed of yours... so many that are incredible images and most adjectives are not adequate. You've really hit your stride.

I just adore this. Sheer b&w simplicity. The highlights aren't overblown and the shadows aren't totally black.....something I constantly struggle with. Very well done Ian.
Sorry I haven't been around so much recently....life has a way of taking over.

Very graphic, the shadows remind of the steps of a staircase.
