The Babbacombe Tree

I've seen a few pictures of this tree recently (including one by Cassiesmum of this parish) and it seems to be gradually becoming a classic lone tree shot. It appeared in the new issue of my favourite magazine so I decided it would be today's blip. 

It's Wideangle Wednesday (hosted by BobsBlips) and the theme this week is Moving/Movement. I reckoned by visiting the tree at high tide I could capture the movement of the water with a long exposure to fit in with that. I was there shortly after high tide but it wasn't high enough to get the water washing over the lower steps which would have been ideal. I'll have to revisit on a higher tide or when the swell's running more. Still, it makes a good image and I'm pleased with it. The 'classic' image seems to be portrait and in mono so I've added an extra in that style.
