When teaching a workshop in the autumn this tree was looking mildly interesting, photographically speaking, but I spotted the patches of mist hovering over the moorlands and instructed my client to wait because it was probably going to be really good when the sun would meet up with the fog and all of a sudden this scene came to life in the most spectacular way. I waited until the sun rays lined up with the main branches on the right, because sun rays are lines and they can either be distracting or enhancing and I'd rather have them enhance a scene that ruin it. The sun rays formed a zebra like pattern on the trunk of this majestic oak tree making it look quite heavenly. This has been one of my most popular images ever since I first posted it on my website
