My walk took me to an old oak tree. It stood proud when I last saw it, but since then disease and maybe high winds caused considerable damage.

Just a side note. The 2004 photograph was taken with slide film. I shot my last roll of slide film in November 2010. The one roll of Velvia slide film in my refrigerator may never be used. Last year I ordered chemicals to process some black and white film, dusted off the darkroom equipment, and made a few prints. It was a lot of money and time for those few prints. Film may never go away but it is not coming back.
