Sunday Selections #143

Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files. 

The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life.  The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent.  Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.

Like River, I generally run with a theme.  This week we had a mini outing.  Driving past Albert Hall I always admire the trees - so I asked for an excursion to a) share their beauty with the skinny one and b) take photos.  Albert Hall was opened in 1928, and I assume that the trees were planted for the opening.  They are certainly old, and their lower branches run along the ground - and then reach for the sky.

As far as I can find out the trees are Atlas Cedars.  Whatever they are - I love them.

As always clicking will embiggen.











And this is a nearby tree.  I am not certain what it is, but loved the texture of the bark.
