Description
Not far from the beginning of the High Beech car park walking trail through Epping Forest is this remarkable tree - the Beech tree that shines with the light of the sun.
Epping Forest is very different from Burnham Beeches as oaks (in particular the Pedunculate Oak) are more numerous, along with Beeches, European Hornbeams and Silver Birch. It has a wilder appearance than the more cultured Burnham Beeches, housing the remains of Iron Age settlements and Celtic earthworks. Everywhere you look are tangled boughs and branches, eerily reminiscent of the long locks of Boudicca's hair.

Lovely shot!
Excellent shot, I have been to Epping forest, but was a small child, I will have to go there again camera in hand, splendid shot!
Wow!!! Excellent pov and light too, thanks to the info about it!!! Great work!!! :)
Takr me to your leader!
What a lovely part of our Island this is! I think it may be worth bearing in mind a smaller aperture may have given a more pronounced starbust and added some extra contrast to the scene
Beautiful...
super looking
Yes, that's one place we must visit when I return, Turin.
The starburst looks surreal, like a portal to (or from) another world, a very thoughtful piece.
Superb picture, excellent lighting...
What a lively shot and amazing forest.
This is a very good!
Fantastic shot, especially how you've captured the sun. Reminds me of the song from Genesis "The battle of Epping Forest". Thanks for you comment. The shot was taken in Europe, exactly in south-west Germany.
