Another in my series of HDR shots. This is a rusty set of cogs at the Vintage Steam Museum situated about 5Km from home and is a great place to wander around getting

Plenty of sap

Hello, here are some more photographs of sap oozing from a tree trunk that I came across on my walk around Jells Park Lake. The flash that I had set up on my camera
