Mine displays it correctly, both as the thumbnail and as the enlarged image.

Taken this morning.  What is the date (in Arabic numerals)?  What is the structure?  Where is the structure?

Sorry MartinR


I wasn't sure if I was correct with just the location of Knole Park or if it was you with Strawberry Fields etc.  I can see now that it was your answer that was required.  Looking forward to your next offering.


John


I wonder if this is the same tree - the King Beech at Knole Park?

Not stalled, I just didn't have a suitable photo instantly available (at least one which would last more than a microsecond).  I'm off out with my camera this morning.

Do you mean the storm of '87' or did I miss one?


Probably. The 89 storm was further west; which is probably what I'm thinking of being down in darkest Cornwall. 124 MPH winds.

Strawberry Fields?  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawberry_Fields_Forever#Promotional_film


That's it MartinR. The stump has been confirmed by one ex-head groundsman; although the current one claims it was an adjacent tree that was fully lost in the storms of 89. There is another fenced off tree that some think is the tree in question; but  is in the wrong location.  Like all good stories it needs a conspiracy and this one is that the 'no trace remains' tree is a story concocted by Knole Park to deter fans from taking a bit of the stump as a trophy.  ;D

Remains of 'King Beech' at Knole Park ?


Knole Park it is. Not the right tree stump though. (Although this one is disputed!) Looking at more modern times art wise.

Not Mote Park. A little further west.


And its this specific location that has the connection to the arts. Although the foreground view was somewhat changed by the great storms of 1989
