Awaiting summer

Sitting aside the 13th century Skipness castle on the Kintyre peninsula of Western Scotland I found this tree standing alone in the castle grounds. Partially backlit by the weak late afternoon winter sun I was taken by the starkness of the scene which is only added to by the hint of the Isle of Arran in the background.

I added a soft focus to the scene to enhance the mystical feeling I experienced while being there in person with this magnificent giant.
