The Laburnum tree, ones of natures spring time beauties. The trailing yellow flowers wave gently in the breeze. Nature really is spectacular.
Apart from some people, and one dog, the only thing I miss about the Midlands is Cannock Chase. It's a wonderful place. Colin's oak picture reminded me of this.

Lonely tree on the top of Mam Tor in the UK Peak District, back-lit through the sun and rain.
The tree's set back about 10-15 metres from all the other trees there, you can see how it stands alone in the previous shot. As Dave pointed out it's quite eye-catching and you end up noticing all the time when you look up at the peak.
Kauai's Tree Tunnel on the way to Koloa town and Poipu beach, was planted over 150 years ago when the wealthy 'Scotsman' and Kauai cattle rancher Walter Duncan McBryde donated over 500 Eucalyptus trees that were left over after landscaping his estate. The tree tunnel is over a mile long and shades the cars that pass underneath along the highway.
Where I was standing to get this shot was at a three way intersection, and of course I picked one of the busiest times to try and get it! I really wanted this shot without any cars in it and I noticed that every few minutes there would be a break in the traffic. After standing in the middle of the road for about 10 minutes I got this shot a split second before a car came into the frame on my right side. The only thing I had to clone out was some lady standing on the right side of the road taking pictures with her camera phone!

I love those old wise trees, they look like very special creatures to me and so relevant for the whole Mediterranean area....

Thanks for your visit!
This was the weather today. Crappy. And just because of the crappy weather I took an extra walk up to the old tree at Välsta. We are expecting 15 C and a blue sky over the weekend so my next photo tomorrow will be a little different.
