Often times when you are presented with an alternative route, it's because of roadworks or an accident but when you can choose an alternative route? Now, that's a different thing.
When travelling back from Frome, rather than taking the dual carriageway, I can cut through the Longleat Estate, well part of it anyway. (I don't actually go driving across the front lawn of Lord Bath's front garden as it were). There is a road through the woods, a green haven, ever-changing; the colour, the light, the weather...
On this occasion, it had just finished raining, it was dull, the light was fading and I grabbed some grainy images which although not perfect, capture the feeling of that tranquil alternative route.

| Silver Birch B+W |
Silver Birch (Betula Pendula) provides spectacular spindles of white bark that peels like paper, gnarled with dark crevices. They always provides a photographic opportunity, evoking one of my favourite series of photographs by Ansel Adams; Aspens. Whilst both trees may exhibit a similarity, they actually belong to different families. The Silver Birch belongs to Birch family whereas the Aspen belongs to the Willow family.
This is a subject I will return to.
