It’s seriously spooky, with branches that look terrifyingly like they might just reach down and pluck you off the road. Hockney painted them outside, rather than in his studio, and it’s worth familiarising yourself with the pieces before you visit you get the feeling of stepping around Hockney himself seated at his easel as you approach.Ĭreated by more than 150 beech trees planted along the Bregagh Road between Armoy and Stanocum by the Stuart family as an entrance to Gracehill Manor, this tunnel is so spooky it’s been featured in films and TV series including Game of Thrones. Immortalised by David Hockney, who painted this tree tunnel in various seasons (they were exhibited at the Royal Academy for some time), this tunnel is between the villages of Langtoft and Kilham. The woodland path has worn down over the years, giving the whole tunnel a circular effect and the look of a Tolkien novel. Halnaker (pronounced ‘Ha’nacker’) is just north of Chichester and this tree tunnel walk (pictured above) follows the ancient Roman road, Stane Street. We think a good tree tunnel is a very fine focus for a good autumn walk, so we’ve listed a few of our favourites around Britain and Ireland. Others are formed naturally, when a path is formed through trees by either footfall or vehicles and the branches meet in the middle overhead, never able to grow lower than the tallest person who regularly passes through. Some tree tunnels are partially ‘man’made’, with trees planted in avenues to offer a shady walk in summer and a canopy of silhouetted branches in winter. Of course you know that at the end of the tunnel the world will be much as it was on the side you entered it, but the strangeness of being cocooned by trees brings, just for a moment, that feeling that anything is possible and at the end of the tunnel might lie an entirely different world.
Those moments when you walk (or sometimes drive) through a tunnel of trees are a bit special, giving you at once a feeling of being hidden from the world and also transported somewhere magical. I already had a love of photography but they helped me see that it's more than a love of photography- it's a way of life.Walk through a tree tunnel near you and feel like you’re entering fairyland We started with learning the steps of learning what makes a beautiful image to learning to shoot on manual mode and beyond. The classes have helped me to develop into the photographer I am today. "I have taken almost every workshop Todd and Brad have offered.To say the least the weekend exceeded all expectations." That Christmas my wife surprised me with registration for their Picture Perfect Workshop Weekend and we were introduced to that passion for photography again. ".We visited their gallery for the first time and not only were we impressed with the quality photography of the area, but there was something about their passion that made an impression.They helped me learn to capture images the way I had them envisioned and taught me to “see the world in pictures." " Todd and Brad assisted me in taking my photography to the next level with their excellent teaching of both the artistic and technical aspects of the art.The Charlevoix Photography Club was fortunate to have this Father and Son team instruct our members on the basic principles of Nature Photography as well as serving as jurors in one of our photography exhibitions. Studying techniques from Galen Rowell, one of the finest photographers in the world, they have combined thoughts to instruct programs such as “How to Really See the World in Photographs”, their “20/20 Vision”, and the advanced program of the “4Fs = Forethink, Feel, Focus and Finish”.
