Taken on a miserable wet afternoon last summer, somewhere near Ireby in Lancashire UK. My mate and I walked about a mile to reach these pines, and then waited 20 minutes for the rain to ease. I got my camera out of its case, and managed to get this shot as I hovered over the camera with a large umbrella keeping off most of the rain. Mission accomplished, a walk up the hill revealed the field to be full of cows and calves. Being wary of big animals we decided to stick close to a dry stone wall to leave the field. The cows then stampeded for no apparent reason. I've never seen my mate hurdle a wall so fast, much to the amusement of the landowner at the bottom of the hill.
Slide scanned using Vuescan at 2400dpi and converted to mono in PS. Small trees cloned out from between the larger pines.
