Oh yes I thought, this challenge will be so easy, but not quite so, trees do seem to love being together, so I delved into my archives and low and behold I found this photograph of a lonesome specimen taken whilst on holiday in Yorkshire UK last year.
Ed over at Sunday Stills sets this challenge and each Sunday he lets you know what the challenge for the following Sunday will be, so that gives you a whole week to select your photograph or to take one that fits. Thank you for this challenge Ed, a great way to get the mind working.

How old is that rock wall behind the tree?
Goodness only knows, the whole of the area known as the Dales is covered with ancient dry stone walls. There are miles and miles of them!!! Thank you for your comment.
Gorgeous Tree ! So well placed against the old stone wall and ominous yet blue sky. Quite often they seem all squat and low down against the weather and wind- this one is showing off!
Happy New Year Gerty 😀
Happy New Year to you Poppy, this tree certainly stood proud against the sky-line which it shared with no other tree.
It is a beautiful tree. 🙂
Thank you, it was a must have photograph. Thank you for leaving a comment.
Great shot, its deffinatly not Hadrian’s wall..;-))
No not such a lofty wall I’m afraid, probably just field demarcation. But it might be as old as Hadrian’s, nobody know how long these walls have stood. Thank you for your comment.
Glad you took the challenge and yes they do seem to hang together. This shot is amazing in oh so many ways, love the sky and perfect with the stone wall behind it!
I’m so please you like the photograph, it’s always so nice to hear from others, thank you for leaving a comment.
Just the kind of tree I look for! Beautiful! I must get to the UK someday!
The UK does have some wonderful old trees that have stood the test of time. Thank you for your comment I do appreciate it.
Of course, that’s the great thing about Photo Challenges – they make you think AND challenge you 🙂
Great shot!
This is a great photo! I love the colours.
Thank you Elaine, the tree looked down on us from on high on our walk in the Dales.
Lovely photo. I had a hard time finding a lone tree here too.
Any idea what sort of tree it is?
Not really sure but I think it might be an oak tree. Thanks for your comment.
something about a tree all alone that brings out a wealth of emotion for me, from it’s stark lonliness to it’s regal presence over the land. Love this!
Thank you for your beautiful reply. Lone trees seem to remind me of the guardians of our land.
Great shot. Both the wall in the back and the changes in a sky add to the georgeous tree.
Thank you Mostraum, I thought the photograph seemed to catch a melancholy mood.
Nice shot, like the lighting!
Thank you, it did seem rather moody.
Fantastic shot and the dark clouds adds up :), well done
Thank you so much, your comment means a lot to me.
Love the little wall behind the tree! 😀
These walls go on for miles and miles in the dales, sometimes over what I would describe as impossible terrain.
