The infamous tree's aka "Alan's Tree's".
A year or so ago these were the source of much rivalry. People came from far and near to try to out do each other in photographing them.

Actually it was taken on Wednesday evening during our flash portrait workshop.
I really want to learn more about how to shoot portraits
Thank you Bill for being such a gracious Model :-)
Sometimes you see something that makes you stop dead in your tracks and it is usually something simple.
My photo of the weekend is exactly that.
Shadows on a wall.
Some one said to me how glad he was that he had 'found' photography as it enables him to see everyday scenes in a different way.
I wholeheartedly agree !
On a blah kind of day on a feeling blah kind of weekend I took my D2h for a walk through the York Road Correctional Centre grounds.
Over the life of the prison the almost 200 acres of land were landscaped by the inmates. Now we get to enjoy their labours. Well for a while anyway until it gets bulldozed for a housing development :-(

Of course after photographing it we left it where we found it.
Our intent is not to steal or destroy, simply to record what will all to soon be gone.
