As promised last night, my dilemma is solved, using the same image in two different ways. Paula is asking for traces of the past in nature, well despite a volcano erupting, there are traces of the past in the little cottage as well as the silver birch trees that are struggling to hold on.
Paula has rather more dramatic volcanic traces to share with us, and you can join in here.

This works beautifully Gilly. Is it Sunday already? I’m disoriented. Love you darlin xx
ooh you really get the feeling of destruction in this version. Great post processing 🙂
I miss silver birches over here. Sad to see them like this
Ahh I would too, they’re one of my favourites, do you know them as Our Lady of the Woods?
No I didn’t know that name Gilly. I had a mini copse of 3 in my NZ garden. I wonder if they are still there…
This is a lovely composition and beautifully processed.
Erm….is your circadian rhythm up the spout, Gilly??!!
Most likely yes 🙂
Ooops!
Oh, and love the processing!
Thanks Sue!

Looks like an illustration from a worth century book. I like it
What’s a worth century book Meg? 🙂
Bloody hell! When will I learn to proof read! 19th century was what I meant
Mmmm, intriguing photo, Gilly 🙂
