A portrait oriented color photograph of a St James's Park Large Scarlet Oak Tree taken with a cloudless in the late afternoon. The tree is leafless and its intricate branches are silhouetted against the blue sky. The sun warmly illuminates the tree's brown bark. The broad base of the tree in the foreground grows from a dark green lawn. Beyond is a narrow body of water in which two white ducks float. On the other side of the lake more trees are visible. At the top of those trees some of London's buildings are visible, including the top portion of the clock tower known as Big Ben. Budinoff Photography

I took this photo of a leafless St James’s Park large Scarlet Oak tree basking in the late afternoon sun near Buckingham Palace in December. The park is adjacent to Green Park at Queen’s Gardens with the Victoria Memorial at its center, opposite the entrance to Buckingham Palace. The upper portion of the famous clock tower known as Big Ben is visible a the middle right of the image.
