On a walk around Ashridge at the end of March I took this photograph of the Fallow Deer with an old dead fallen tree (an Oak?) in the background. I wasn't sure I had seen it on the ground before...
...and looking through my old photos, I came across a series of images that I took in July 2011 with this same tree standing in the background. It looks like it had been dead for some years and I suppose it was only a matter of time before it fell.
With gradual changes to the landscape (mainly man-made) often not remembered over the years, and be it only a slight change in the landscape, this is a record of nature changing the view.
