Burning Beech


When sun gets through to the ground in the woods here the beech leaves could be blazing. Even on a dull and misty morning like today the effect is startling. Despite the intense contrast it looks at home here. Native beech may just have reached this far north in the distant past but these are probably the result of plantings on boundaries more recently.
At any rate the purists have not yet asked to have them removed and there would be quite a row if they did.
