Appreciate this new thread, I was wondering why there was none yet...

Ciao from Massimo

Since evolution has given us TWO ears and ONE mouth, we are supposed (me included) to be doing more listening than talking.

I think this tree has a very strong idea of where it wants to be.

I really like that composition Fons, very interesting.

That is a nice tree Colin and you captured it very well.

Well spotted Matthew, it indeed has a sense of willpower.

I'm reading a book by Robert Holdstock called "Mythago Wood" where the trees of a forest stealthy encroach into the garden then the actual structure  of the house there.

Your tree looks like it has the right attitude for that Matthew!

Maybe it is a Triffid?  (John Wyndham)

Growing horizontally

This beech tree had received a bad blow in its early ages, so it grew with many branches originating directly from the stump. Death, Decay, and Rebirth!

Great gnarly shapes Massimo and the exposure adds to the ominous feel of the scene
