Taken on campus; there is almost no green space there, but if you point your camera up at a high enough angle, you can occasionally get shots of trees with no buildings behind…

Weeping willow
Tuesday 8th November 2016, 10.45pm (day 1,902)
This weeping willow stands at one end of the 16th century bridge over the Hebden Water after which my home town is named (viz, Hebden Bridge). It has featured in the background or periphery of several photos before, but today I make it the prime subject, thanks to the late night street lighting and the sleet which was barrelling out of a damp grey sky on the way home (see tomorrow’s picture…).
To prove I occasionally still — but only occasionally — have nights out, this is the latest shot in any given night out since my 3am aberration on 9th Jan 2016, and the latest shot in a calendar day since, embarrassingly perhaps, 15th November 2014.
In Nutclough Woods
Saturday 13th August 2016, 2.15pm (day 1,815)
I feel I’ve shown what I wanted to show about this tree, so that gratifies me.
Young pine cones
Saturday 23rd July 2016, 1.55pm (day 1,794)
I love the way these cones also look like flowers — even eggs? I guess all three are more-or-less the same thing.
In the woods (yoga tree)
Thursday 5th May 2016, 10.15am (day 1,715)
After a horribly cold spell — we had snow last Friday, though it didn’t get depicted on here (too depressing) — spring seems to have re-installed successfully. This is good news.
Why ‘yoga tree’? Something about the way this one is stretching its whole body and two arms up to salute the sun?
Tree gone
Saturday 14th November 2015, 11.50am (day 1,542)
And so the shot of it at dusk exactly seven months ago (14th April) becomes the last photographic hurrah of the tree on our allotment. I said then its days were numbered. It was not wasted… it needed to come down.
Trades Club tree
Sunday 28th June 2015, 10.25am (day 1,403)
Hebden Bridge being the place it is, it has an Arts Festival. Arts Festivals being what they are, people are decorating trees. The Trades Club being what it is, here is its tree. QED.
Tree at dusk
Tuesday 14th April 2015, 8.25pm (day 1,328)
My day in Manchester was OK but I had a greatly extended journey home for reasons that are too ridiculous to report here. But it was nice to come home to a beautiful evening. This is the tree in our allotment garden, which actually I keep wanting to get cut down, but we’ll give it its due credit tonight. So nice to still have light in the sky at this time of night, as well.
The tree outside Caroline’s house
Friday 13th February 2015, 10.20pm (day 1,268)
Night out in Leeds to celebrate the birthday of our friend Caroline, will she let me tell you which number birthday it was? Ends in a zero, anyway. This tree sits outside her house, snapped it late on. I like the windows of the houses at the bottom which give it some added interest.
On Mount Fløyen
Wednesday 4th February 2015, 4.30pm (day 1,259)
If in doubt for something to do in Bergen (and you’ve finished work for the day), take the funicular and come up here. This is Fløyfellet’s second appearance on the blog, the first being well over three years ago (27th Nov 2011), and the second shot in a row of a snowy Norwegian scene with a vaguely supernatural element.
