Looking at the leaves it would be a white oak
jtomasella is right, it's a white oak, a fairly young one. I wish we had the ancient craggy oaks like you have in the UK.
Yeah, I thought Oak but the leaves look longer and more pointy. American White Oak is sold as a timber over here (as well as the native variety of course) but I don't recall seeing an image of the tree.
We do have fine trees over here, there are huge tracts of treeless and bleak moorland in Northumberland but thankfully still plenty of wooded areas in the valleys, and fine field and hedgerow specimens.
(I grew up in the south east of England where there are still somewhat surprisingly large patches of wonderful old woodland. Unfortunately there are also lots and lots of people - the Cornish would say 'emmets' - ants. I prefer it far less populated)
Great “arborscape”, though I think “black oak” would be my first guess, though it’s hard to make out the lobes. (Generically a “red oak,” just as “white oak” encompasses a lot of species here in the States and abroad.)
At any rate Peter’s woods remain on my bucket list—I had a quick scurry up to Wistman’s Wood planned a couple of years ago before my trip to Plymouth got cancelled…probably durmast oaks there on the uplands, but I’d love to see some proper English oak as well some day.
There is a bunch of variety of leaves on the ground. To the right are some maple, at the base of the tree is either a red oak or black oak leaf. I can't think of what the front and center ones are. The leaves in the tree are definitely white oak though. They are lobed instead of pointy. Dave Canterbury on youtube has a good video on identifying trees.
An excellent photo for all of that—the maples catching the light really makes for a great backdrop.
This was a throw away negative, that’s how all the scratches ended up on the negative. Add some creative manipulation and there ya go. My favorite part of this image is the cow
