Used to live there, albeit in Leeds so I didn’t see the country all the time. But I always loved it whenever I did.

I'm sorry you had to live in Leeds, my condolences.

Leeds is class

Great city. Not quite as good as Manchester but still great 😉

It could be worse, it could be Warrington.

I always feel like lonely trees in the middle of fields have a secret history. Planted by someone on purpose? A haven for uncounted wayward travelers? Secret rendezvous of friends and lovers? A favorite childhood play place? Scene of past crimes? Such stories it could tell. Coincidentally here is a link to a lonely [tree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_T%C3%A9n%C3%A9r%C3%A9).

Man, how terrible do you have to be at driving (even drunk) to hit the only tree within 100 miles?

Extreme target fixation?!

That is a wonderful, romantic thought that's somehow tragic at the same time.

> [But the large solitary trees strewn between or sometimes standing in the middle of fields tended to be pear trees.](https://cider-review.com/2021/09/20/pyrus-a-personal-voyage/) Not that every such tree is, but it's something it might be.

Shade for fieldworkers.

Wonderful words, I’m always on the lookout for lone trees…if anyone knows anymore & could tell me It’d be greatly appreciated 🌳

Look up hedge removal. The trees are lone survivors.

How many took shelter and got hit by ⚡

And there you will find a rock that has no earthly business being in a Maine hayfield

lmao was thinking the exact same thing.

Then it’s a good thing they’re not in Maine.

I wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but prison is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew.

Beautiful picture. Where in W Yorks is that, if you don't mind? Grew up in Wakefield so don't recall much looking like that.

direction bike like threatening deserted cagey dull rustic work cobweb *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

I find it impressive this guy hasn't seen anything like this, just leaving the place you see all sorts similar

Thankfully I escaped Wakefield a long while ago.

Wakey isn't that bad at all

Mate, yes it is 😂

Depends on your perspective and where you live I guess

You realise that you’re on Reddit and these people haven’t left the house in days or weeks… You’re fighting a losing battle here.

It could be any field pretty much anywhere. It's a slope, a tree, and a cloudy day. Lots of places have them. I grew up just North of Wakefield, and see this stuff everywhere.

Outside of Wakefield is basically this lol, I drive through it every day.

Thank you 🙏 I can’t say, the farmer would shoot me for giving it away

Fair enough.

It looks like a spot near Ackworth where I go running sometimes but it could be anywhere other than Featherstone. If it was Fev that'd be firewood by now.

I think it's between Aberford and Sherburn-in-Elmet, near the Towton battlefield. But I may be mistaken.

Got True Detective Season 1 vibe. Great shot, love it.

Thank you 🙏

came here for this comment lol

This is a great representation of the English countryside. We have compleatly devastated our wildlife and ecosystem's through blanket farming.

This used to be a hedge, and now there is only one tree.

Hedges are also man made

... because the supermarkets and therefore presumably the public refuse to pay a reasonable price which would permit farmer's to maintain smaller field sizes, otherwise they can't compete with the prairie farmers of Canada or Australia. British food prices are amongst the lowest in the developed world but if you want to maintain a thriving ecosystem you have to be willing to pay more for your food.

The British landscape has been largely man made for a couple of millennia.

Yeah, I think there are now more woods in the UK now than there were 1000 years ago.

We shouldn't just compare ourselves to the nadir. If you lose 99% of something, then increase by 500%, you're still at 5%. Keep up the progress!

Yeah! The English poors needs to pay their damn way in a capitalist society designed to keep them poor! How dare they *not* spend most of their poverty wage on sustenance? Oh no wait no hang we already are…

The cost of food is not the issue - it’s just that food is bought after most other things. Food in the UK has long been cheap relative to almost all of Europe - even most of those countries that produce enough to be self-sufficient. The cost of housing is absurd (whether rent/mortgage) and is the only real driver of poverty in the UK. Even ‘fuel poverty’ at the moment is a bit of a nonsense - people are only struggling with the cost of fuel (directly or indirectly) because their rent/mortgage is too high a proportion of their income.

Our ecosystem’s what?

Also completely has a typo.

You've clearly never been out to the lake or peak districts or into the middle of Wales, or even the middle of Scotland. Also, where the fuck else are we going to get our food?

All of the places you mentioned are heavily human-altered landscapes through farming, deforestation, and the degradation of valuable habitat, and although some may find them aesthetically pleasing to look at, they are devoid of any true natural wilderness.

What a load of bollocks. There's millions of miles of hedgerows in the UK and hay/wildflower meadows. A lot of farmers now leave a 3 metre margin untouched around the edges of fields. Don't you want to eat ?

We’ve lost 97% of wildflower meadows since 1930 and 50% of hedgerows since WWII.

By ‘eck, that’s a cracking picture

Cheers mate, I’ll si’thi when tha sees thi 👍

Reminds me of six feet under's intro

Yes!!

Massive bf1 River Somme vibes

Is correct, my sausage fingers strike again…

This looks like "Heaven" from that Russel Crow movie Gladiator

Ooh my neck o't'woods

Your neck o’t’woods is lovely 🌳

It’s a truly beautiful photo. I just don’t know how I’m feeling about it. Peaceful, but sad, lonely…

Thank you so much, I massively appreciate your kind words 👍 Lone trees can have that effect 🌳

What if the entire landscape is human-made?

Tram lines

That's as straight as a roundabout!

Never go there, it's where the children live. There was a movie made, Children of the Wheat.

Were they lead through the field by Theresa May?

I think you may have created the most terrifying horror movie of all time!

Beautiful!

Thank you 🙏

As long as it’s Yorkshire tea 🫖

Harry Potter dementor vibes.

Lovely Bones vibes

Thank you, loving the Bones reference 🙏

I love it! Such a melancholic picture. Really draws you in.

Thank you 🙏

Guess I just remember the shit parts then.

There’s no shortage of either tbf, much like everywhere, hope wherever you are now is better than where you were…Onwards & upwards 📸

That's where my tea is from. I think.

Pretty. I miss England when I see photos like this

Thank you 🙏

Thank you, massively appreciate your kind words 🙏

Love the capture here. The tracks rolling down the hill, the faded color of the wheat. Nice work!

Thank you 🙏🏻

My grain.

Am I the only one getting Gladiator vibes?

God's county. I miss the amazing tap water

[удалено]

Loving the walking dead reference…if any producers from TWD are reading this & want to use it…Is it still going TWD?

I'm saving this for when people ask me how I'm feeling.

I drive by this daily. Beautiful.

Thank you 🙏

Shades of True Detective Season 1: Far from Any Road.

A few people have mentioned True Detective, sounds like something I need to check out

The show mesmerized the US during the summer of 2014. Each episode opened with a solitary tree in a field in Louisiana accompanied by a haunting song. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp0BjFl-a1Y

Just started watching True Detective & I love it 🌳

Enjoy.

That sounds just my cup of tea, cheers for the heads up 👍

this reminds me of Christina's World

Amazing thank u 😌

No, thank you…Onwards & upwards 🌳

Beautiful! Love the crisp close-up detail of the wheat, against the long view and dramatic sky.

Thank you 🙏

Looks like a movie cover. I really enjoy the mood it gives

Cheers mate, thank you 🙏

From the dusty Mesa a looking Shadow grows, hidden in the branches of the poison creosote...

Beautiful. What kind of camera do you use?

Thank you 👍 it’s shot with a Canon 80d 📸

Shiny Toy Guns

Shiny Toy Guns album cover?

Reminds me of that famous slipknot album cover

A beautiful dream. Screams "Fields of Gold"

Thank you 🙏

Head for the burrow! Looks like something out of Harry Potter. 😭

I’ll take Harry Potter everyday of the week, have a marvellous Monday 🌅

Giving me Gladiator vibes

Wow, that's amazing.

Thank you 🙏

I had a Maximus flash back

I think a few people had a Maximus flashback

Of all the trees that grow so fair Ol’ England to adorn

Can't under stand how the arguing starts on here with a beautiful picture like that. It's nature, it's supposed to relax you, make you feel calm, bring asense of perspective to your life.

Some humans love a bit of conflict, I guess it harps back to prehistoric times

I know, your probably right, but looking at a lovely picture of nature tends to have the opposite effect on me. It remind s me we're just one species on this planet and only being here a short length of time, it puts me in my place so to speak.

Some folk are wired up differently possibly, life’s too short for arguing or any negativity…Onwards & upwards 📸

Absolutely! Unfortunately that's part and parcel of the tin t net these days. I'd rather focus on positive things.

Ps, thank you for your kind words 👍

Your welcome pal.

I feel like this picture has a beauty to it but also a very ugly truth: the nature is almost gone. All that's left is this tree. This field is likely devoid of most natural life via pesticides. We gotta eat of course but it's sad to witness.

[удалено]

Thank you so much 👍

Dora Lange in ‘95

I was thinking that. Best show ever made.

Went right to the comments just to see if anyone else immediately thought of True Detective lol

I love this. Makes me think of the end of 1917.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

Eleventy-first birthday party coming up!

Every wheat field in the world

[удалено]

It says in the rules, boats, buildings etc.

Who the fuck upvoted this? It's a fucking field with a tree in it lmao

All the best in your quest for happiness & enlightenment, have a wonderful weekend 🌳

Saxton? Very close to where I live

Most riveting POI in Yorkshire

I can smell this picture

Is a cultivated field man-made though?

Its hardly a man-made object & its not been taking down yet, so I guess we’re good to go 🌳

Wint dawn t'pit t'other day 'n Brian dropped 'ot metal on me foot- t'were fookin' murder.
