any chance of a photo?

 

John Constable, whose brother was steward of the Tollemache woodlands, lived for some time at Helmingham Rectory, and painted a number of versions of A Dell in Helmingham Park. The oak tree in that picture, with its singular curved trunk, still stands.

Alas no. It has been dead since i have worked hear but the top came crashing down last year but the bottom half still stands with its Fistulina:thumbup: But to the left of the picture is an ash tree which is still alive and standing but has a bad case of Inonotus hispidus. Lots of rot holes one has a male barn owl in it some times. Good news is the curved trunk still stands. You have been doing some homework on where i work Sean:lol:

An exact photographic recreation with the same light levels will suffice.

 

No pressure
