Viva Lewes Issue #161 February 2020

PHOTO OF THE MONTH
TREE LIFE
Jodie Cartman sent in this striking and unusual shot. She wrote:
‘Going through some photos from the past year I came across this one, of a
wonderful mystical tree house, taken during a misty winter walk close to Barcombe
Mills. I shoot on 35mm film, so there’s an added layer of texture grain and light leaks
to add to the magic.
It was around midday in December of last year when we spied the tree house in the
distance: it almost looked as if it was walking towards us – the trunk of the tree as its
body and the branches as its arms and hair.
A truly magical and eerie sight which I’m delighted to have captured on such a
winter’s day.’
