Horse Chestnut and Spillway
Spotted this Ash hanging over the spillway of an old victorian dam close to my home, thought it made an interesting shot.

Not sure about your tree ID, looks a bit Chestnut'y from here. Putting that to one side, I really like this as the texture of the water in the Bg on the spillway looks like bark.

Yes it certainly looks like a Horse Chestnut to me too. However it is still a great picture,
especially with the bark like appearance of the water.

A different image, and certainly one that I like! Well spotted!

P.S. Agree with the others about the horse chestnut I.D. - I threw enough sticks at such trees in my youth to recognise a conker tree!!

Many thanks for the comments folks. You are of course correct about the tree type. I seem to have a mental block with Horse Chestnut, for some reason my subconsious always triggers the name Ash when writing....weird...
