What a difference a day makes

[Horwig]

To my west, in next door's garden is a huge tree that I've been cursing forever

It really limits my imaging to the west, which is by far my cleanest sky.

Today was a big day:

 

GOING:

 

GOING:

 

 

GONE:

 

 

Now all I need is a clear night

Lucky B, if only my neighbour was so thoughtful. Lots of hints dropped...👍

The tree was growing on rock, and not in the best of health. It dawned on him the geometry of the situation, our weather is from the west, so if there was a storm with the tree in leaf, it might uproot and reach the obsy, he reckoned it was cheaper to take the tree down than pay for a new obsy (and contents).

I didn't drop any hints, well not direct ones anyway 😇

I have two 300+ year old oak trees, one to the North and one to the South, the developer of our estate had to leave them be, so there are two houses with large (by new house standards) gardens and a big leaf clear up job each Autumn. 
 

They won’t be coming down anytime soon, but I do like to hear the owls hooting from them while I’m imaging.

And what super leaf compost you could have, pile it up and let it rot down. Oaks how lovely and your air must be so much better quality too.

Perfect! I will start dropping hints about my neighbours house obstructing my view to the south!

It was so satisfying removing said tree from my Stallarium landscape😀

I have several large trees around me but I too love to hear the owls hooting. Only this morning there was one hooting in the back garden tree as I was letting my cat's out. Hope there's not a connection, lol.

I love how we all realize the importance of trees, until they interfere with our views, all bets are off.

Send them round to mine. I've no view South.

Was a nice knarly old tree, if you like trees 😆
