Trees near Kings Ripton at dusk Close to the edge of the Fens, this is known by the locals as big sky country (which is positive spin on it's very flat). Having been most of the day in a class room on a course, I was on a short drive to where I was staying the night and passed this line of trees, so I turned the car round and got my tripod out. It is very flat round here, but you can see from the tree trunks that there is a slope from right to left, on the course the tutor had made a joke about us not worrying about the floods as we were on high ground.
