A Mighty Oak


The boughs of a mighty oak reach out over the receding waters of a turlough in Coole Park just after sunrise last Saturday. I discovered this tree a few years ago, and stand (and sometimes sit) underneath it any chance I get. Until a few weeks ago, the flood water had surrounded it, but not it has rejoined the ‘mainland’. It is not as famous as Coole Park’s autograph tree but is probably around the same age.

This is a panorama picture, composed of 11 overlapping pictures merged together in Adobe Lightroom. The images were taken with a Canon EOS R6 and a 17-40mm lens (set to 17mm).
