Our tree this week was sent in by Affinity’s newest team member, rq. It’s a majestic old tree in a fairy tale setting and the last shot is brilliant. Perfectly framed, perfectly lit and perfectly peaceful. Thanks for sharing, rq.

I love that the tree seems to have a majestic nose in the first.
The 3rd shot… wow! And I love the view through the window too.
This one stands between the moat and the gate of Bauska castle, parts of which have been recently reconstructed, though the old tower is mere brick and pigeons.
I would estimate the tree dates to the construction of the ‘new’ castle, which might be around the 17th century (I’d have to look it up). I have photos from the castle itself, too -- visited in summer, and I was very impressed with a lot of the work done with it. And I came to a few realizations, but I’m hoping to put together my own post about that. :D
