Beech trees with Meripilus giganteus (Giant Polypore) at the base of the closest one. The Knoll, Hayes, 6 November 2012. |
In the lighter photo, the well-lit and colourful leaves dominate the picture. Beech leaves in Autumn are beautiful. In the darker one, even though some leaves are brightly lit, the closer viewpoint, and the fact that the leaves weren't yet turning colour, ensure that the gloomy trunks loom up.
The photo I linked to above records the fungus nicely, but it seems rather bland. I like both of these shots much better, because they show what the park is really like. It's a pity that the big tree is doomed by the root-rotting fungus.
