An oft-photographed tenacious lone pine tree grows out of a rocky cliff under a dramatic, cloudy sky. Displayed in a black-and-white composition to accentuate the rugged textures of the rock formations and the sprawling branches.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.

Very good. "Lone Pine is a series of children's books written by English author Malcolm Saville. The earlier books evoke visions of an outdoor 1940s and '50s childhood reminiscent of Enid Blyton's Famous Five books, in which children are allowed to have adventures, explore strange places and encounter villains without adult supervision. Many of the books are set on or around the Long Mynd and Stiperstones hills in south Shropshire, England, but some are based in Sussex (centred on Rye), Dartmoor, the Goathland and Whitby area of Yorkshire and the Southwold and Walberswick area of the Suffolk coast." My partner and I both read some of these as children; we visited Rye a few years ago, at Dianene's instigation, and saw where Savile had lived.

That was an interesting quotation and comment on the image. I knew of Enid Blyton, and though unsure, I believe my late wife had acquired couple of the books for my daughter when she was a kid.
