Woodbank

 

A woodbank is a linear boundary around or within a wood, marked by a low earthen bank. It’s a feature often associated with ancient woodland, and it’s not uncommon to find trees growing on it. These two trees, an ash and a silver birch, are relatively recent additions, but I liked their shapes and the two of them together definitely had a special something.
