Curiosities - Celebrating Trees

13 Jan-5 Feb 2012

Exhibition displaying the winning entries from the Curiosities favourite tree photography competition. Competition entrants were asked to take photos of their favourite trees, to create images that tell a story.

One of the winning photos (opposite) was taken by Alistair Waller, Oldham. The photo was taken in Heaton Park, Manchester and the story behind the photo is:

My 3-year-old son Jake loves forests and asks if he can go on an adventure through the trees. I always wonder what he's thinking as he's running between the trees with the stick he’s just found. This tree always makes him stop and look up, after a few seconds he'll turn to me and ask, "Dad, when I get bigger can I climb it?"
