Park in Colmar

In the UK they call this style of pruning "pollarding"
It leaves quite distinctive results eh Bruno?  Great in silhouette

One of my favorite shots ever.

Sorry for not commenting earlier Paco (I have been away)

This image confounds my eye/brain.
There's a lot to see on many different levels, though I think the shakeup arising through IR adds much of the mystery

Thanks, Colin. Interestingly, although the picture is taken in France, there is no equivalent word in French. I could not find a translation.

Thanks for these Lars.
The second one gives an eerie sensation

Thanks Colin - yes, those trees are far more welcoming when covered with green leaves on a sunny day :)

I was lucky enough to see some wonderful trees in a park I've discovered not far from me in Herefordshire, UK

I'll share a few more in due course, but something about this one caught my eye....

Very nice find, Colin!

Nice shot with a lovely frosty look... it appears to have infinite detail on my 1800x2880 laptop screen.  Good to see the 80-200/4 in use!
