Poplar Arches

I went up the Malvern Hills to look at the poplar tunnel. All the poplars on this side of the hills have succumbed to the rust disease. Their leaves have gone brown and dropped off. I was relieved to find the disease has not reached the Wainiwaniwa Valley. The silver poplars are still mostly green, but the silver birches beyond them have turned gold.

I love this place, though I can never quite capture the magic. I’ve blipped it a number of times over the years. My favourites are a Gothic fantasy, and a shot of cattle coming through the tunnel.
