Clinging tightly to the side of Low Rigg (click) and with Threlkeld Knotts as a far background, this tree seems determined to beat gravity.

Well spotted and captured, Jon, it's amazing how they manage to survive at such an angle, and obviously in very strong winds at times. Carol

Ah, the famous hanging tree. It's survived there for so long the roots must be massive. Lovely capture.

I thought at first you'd fallen over when you took this! No worry about getting your verticals vertical with this shot Wink It's amazing that's it's stayed there for so long - it must have strong roots. Well captured and presented, Jon Smile
