Ready for Winter

This horse chestnut tree stands in the lane where I live in north-west Cumbria. It is always smothered in "candles" and early, bright green foliage when other trees are still bare. Now it too is bare, having lost all but a few lowest leaves several weeks ago. I don't know why it is so out of kilter with all the trees in this area. 

I have read that there are two diseases of horse chestnuts, one caused by a leaf-mining moth which arrived in the UK in 2002, and the other by the leaf blotch fungus which came from North America about a century ago. I hope that it is not succumbing to one of these.
