National tree week (9)

The final day of national tree week, and I'll finish my week (and a bit) of uploads with my favourite trio of trees.

This was taken today on a beautiful frosty monring close to home. I really like this spot, and have photographed the same view many times, however, its only during the winter months that the sun rises behind the trees. I waited for the sun to peep over the crest of the hill and illuminate the stubbly field... at -5C it was a chilly, but wortwhile wait.

Many thanks for following my uploads this week - every image in this series has been taken within in a few miles of home, in or around the Clyde Valley - sometimes it's good to explore your own doorstep. And if this has inspired anyone to find out more about National tree week, or their own local treescapes, then its been worthwhile.

    love the composition on this excellent shot

  40. susanonline (busy these days) (6 months ago | reply)

    Big favourite! I love all the diagonals, the sunburst caught in the corner, and the fact that the far fields are awash in sunlight. Beautiful! And it's always good to explore close to home because it encourages you to look at old things in new ways. I have a set called ' a stone's throw' with scenes that have been taken within walking distance of my home. It's sometimes a challenge to find new material - but it seems I always do!

    Wonderful shot. I like that you have 3 trees in line here.
