Over many years of taking a photo-a-day there have been a number of subjects that have appeared regularly. In some cases, out of desperation (to ensure that I 'got' a picture of the day) I've resorted to photographs of the cat or of what I've been eating or drinking.
On other days I've photographed local landmarks.
One of the local landmarks I've photographed many times is a distinctive tree in my local park, Bury Knowle Park in Headington.
My favourite picture of The Tree is probably one I took in the snow in early 2009.

Over the next few years The Tree survived several big storms pretty much intact

In early 2015, one of the big branches finally gave way, but the rest of the canopy remained intact.

Then, finally at some point between February and today (December 2016) The Tree was finally removed. Not sure why I've not noticed before (I've clearly been taking my emergency pictures elsewhere), but it does feel like there's hole in the Park.
