I saw on some news/photography website yesterday that the famous ‘Philosophers Tree’ had been cut down by the farmer who owned the land where the tree was. If you have never seen a image of this tree, be sure to do a quick google and check it out, it is a wonderful subject, or at least it was.

Sadly, the reason for chopping it down, was ( it appears) partly due to the fact that so many photographers trespassed on his land..

Pretty sad state of affairs, but if that is the case, i cannot blame him, just shows you can love a tree to death I suppose.

So, in memory of the Philosophers Tree, here is my tribute, a shot taken when I was searching for those lone mangrove trees (https://plus.google.com/+GerardBlacklock/posts/QcPubRyxLiS).

it was also between getting rained on, eaten by mozzies and contemplating just getting the car and grabbing a coffee instead.. i would have, but the coffee shop was not open yet 🙁

Exif love 😉

  4. That's the trouble with some photogs – they seem to think that their desire to capture any subject they wish overrides the law and others' rights.
    A pity about no coffee – hopefully the one you finally hunted down was worth the wait 🙂
