Colour photograph in the series 'Beauty is the Antidote to Grief' - Hadrian's Wall - Sycamore trees #3 - Birdoswald Roman Fort, near Gilsland, Cumbria, England | ISO 100 | 28 mm | f/11 | 1/250 sec. On 28 September 2023, the famous Sycamore Gap Tree was felled as "an act of vandalism". During the first week of October 2023, I accompanied my husband, who walked the Hadrian's Wall Path, and I took photographs of one or more other beautiful sycamore trees along the path. This series 'Beauty is the Antidote to Grief' is the result.
