Wraysbury Lake

Framed. 10" x 12". Back on familiar Joanlee territory: trees and England. These lovely specimens are clustered around the edge of Wraysbury lake. A series of gravel pits during WWII, the industrial landscape around Wraysbury was turned into lakes after the war and is now a particularly picturesque little community near Heathrow airport. I rented a house there for five years which looked out over the main lake, giving Mom the chance to capture this.
