Began by Robert Holford in 1834 Westonbirt Arboretum near Tetbury in Gloucestershire is a wonderful collection of trees from all round the world. Now it is well looked after by the Forestry Commission and in the autumn when the colours are at their best there are thousands of visitors. To avoid most of those I arrived early on a wonderfully sunny day in late October this year and all the images have been shot hand held with a Nikon d200 and three Sigma lenses - 12-24, 18-200, 70-300.
