For our walk yesterday, we visited a hollowed out tree stump which we found the other week, as a result we had a big tripod with us, in order to be able to reach inside the tree and remain steady; thank goodness for carbon fiber equipment (it is much lighter). So  two abstract  photos for today, the upper

 one of the photos is of that stump at Hatchlands, whilst the lower one is of the inside of the same tree stump. The second photo was a little challenging to take; access, light values, and all the technical side of photography and all those sorts of things, but it was good fun to be using a tripod again and taking a photo in good old fashioned sort of way. I did enjoy myself and had a good play. The texture inside the stump could be from the planet Mars, with all the variegating folds and blemishes all over the place. It reminds me of flowing lava from a volcano.

No great photography today; we got soaked in the rain, so the camera stayed in the bag.
