… on the North York Moors, or wherever I happen to be.

The Banana Tree

My first camera was a simple Kodak but sometime in my teens I was given,Ā forĀ a Xmas present, a SLR (single lens reflex) camera made by the German manufacturer Praktica. Colour film was far too expensive soĀ I tinkeredĀ around with developing my own monochrome film in the bathroom. I experimented with filters of various shades butĀ my favourite was a deepĀ red filter which allowed light from red objects to pass butĀ blocked blue light. It resulted inĀ a pseudo night effect. Nowadays of courseĀ the same effect can be obtained by just a few clicks on the computer. I still love the effect.

Below Roseberry on the Folly Field a misshapen larch tree is a magnet for children to bounce on its branches. Their nickname for this tree is The Banana Tree.
