Mudslide Tree Stump www.highton-ridley.co.uk

I was intrigued by the ongoing journey that this tree stump is making. It used to be alive and well at some point at the top of the cliff. Right now, (well, when I took the photo) it's at the bottom of the cliff waiting for the next storm to take it to who knows where?

Beautiful. The tree is an amazing sculpture. Greetings from Argentina.

Yes, I really liked the shapes and the fact that the tree was upright after having been carried down the cliff on a mudslide. I wonder where it is now? Maybe heading to Argentina on the sea currents?

it looks so beautifully placed by nature:)

Thanks Alala and Rosina.

The place is the famous Jurassic Coast around Lyme Regis.

It's fame comes from its dinosaur and other fossils and almost every day amateur and professional fossil hunters roam up and down with their little hammers. ..especially after there's been storms and mudslides!

Again, thx Ainars. I must confess to cheating a little bit. Where the little branch almost touches the cliff it originally had some bushes / trees behind the very tip, making it touch. I wanted a small gap so I cloned away the vegetation..

..I'm just an image tart!!

Thanks Vasco, although I'm not so happy about the right hand side - I may revisit it and do some dodging to give it a 'lift'. Another day, though ;-)

Thanks Highton! I expected from aligned picture with a glance - there has been included some background work. :D I was not suspected You about bushes, I suspected You even more, than You turned or moved in right position tree stumps, to mach Your imagine criterias! :) Althought that can be heavy to turn or move such pieces of wood, but not impossible. :) But this Your final shoot is great and worth your efforts! And who cares now about bushes or dirties? Only You! :D :D

I do often similar 'retouche' works. Wanish unwanted peoples, clear-up cables and wires. Sometimes I do house paint repairs, if they are too ugly and attract viewers attention, sometimes I restore clouds or change colour contrasts. With best regards a
