Half way through our first recovery ale of the day and the heavens opened. It kept raining so we decided more drinks were required. Unfortunately for us, we had left our helmets clipped to the front wheels of our bikes. That'll teach us!!
On one of my trips to Cornwall back in the autumn I decided to cut through the country lanes to the east of Truro and go across to the Roseland Peninsula. The area is off the beaten track and is quite hilly and very heavily wooded. Here the trees have virtually made a tunnel for this narrow country lane.
those trees, especially in winter, always remind me poor soldiers, walking in the coldness and greyness... far from home... the interesting thing is that now, writing this, I realised that this is one of the places where one of the biggest battles of ww1 took place! so who knows...
"When I am among the trees,
especially the willows and the honey locust,
equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,
they give off such hints of gladness.
I would almost say that they save me, and daily.
I am so distant from the hope of myself,
in which I have goodness, and discernment,
and never hurry through the world
but walk slowly, and bow often.
Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, “Stay awhile.”
The light flows from their branches.
And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.” – Mary Oliver

Using the NiSi Filters 150mm system for the 1st time today...I love you, Mrs.Claus lol.
"A tree against the sky possesses the same interest, the same character, the same expression as the figure of a human."

I just wish I could be positively creative instead of being destructively creative sometimes. In an effort to make something of my whizzy-wig trees I've created a fabulous but fake reflection. All is not as it seems here.
During out visit to New Zealand one of my goals was to photograph the Wanaka tree. Each time that I photograph something I try to get a high key shot to see what will happen. This was the result.
Saw these cedar trees on the shore of Blue Mountain Lake in Arkansas. With the large buttresses, they reminded me of cypress trees in the south.
