Was up in the Lake District earlier this week staying with my brother Ade G and on a misty day went and took the obligatory photos of the Butteremere tree. In the evening we were discussing how it must be one of the most photographed trees in the area and a rummage on Google brought up hundreds of images but disappointingly the tree hasn’t always been so spartan. We could only draw the conclusion that irresponsible photographers have vandalized this tree over the few years 'to improve the composition'!!!
So going back in time we have this shot - 2015 by me
