The tree

I really like this tree, tried to photograph it several times yet, and still not really happy with the outcome I get. 
It is rather complicated placed by the larger lake with lots of other shrubbery and trees (and some houses) surrounding it, so that it is difficult to give it the center stage it deserves. I took the opportunity the foggy weather gave me to blurry the background. 
It´s not so visible now in winter time, but half of it is dead while the other half is full of life (and leaves in summer). 
Rather fascinating specimen...
