Image: © Rob Farrow Taken: 18 May 2006
This is a view along London Road in Tring. The tree in the foreground is an Acer, i.e. a member of the Maple family. There are many Acers in Britain, by far the most common and noticeable is the Sycamore. This Acer has leaves as large as a sycamore's, but they are not as rough and as can be seen have a pinkish hue. It may well be an ornamental hybrid, probably with the Norway Maple. The white flowers beneath are Cow Parsley.
