The iconic Sycamore Gap Tree has been felled by someone overnight. To say am shocked is an understatement!!
I just don't understand in what world is this okay?? What is the purpose behind it? What's the fun?
Just don't get it how some people think nowdays.
It was a truly iconic spot. This image is from when I last visited it few years ago. Broad daylight and quite a crowd so I used a ND filter and long exposure to blur the movements of people while having the tree firm and steady in the centre of my frame.
That was really what was so symbolic about the spot. The tree had witnessed probably thousands of people around itself while standing firm and tall and the only constant factor amongst a changing scene. Sadly it's all in the past now.
