More 'Naked Trees'

I really love the silhouette of trees against the sky. I call them 'Naked trees'. Today I remembered something from my childhood which maybe explains why I like them so much.

As a family we used to go on holiday to Bude in Cornwall. We would visit the Boscastle Pottery Shop in nearby Boscastle. They are known for their dendritic (tree-like or branching) patterns, sometimes called Mocha diffusion. The pieces are called Mochaware.

These 'Naked Trees' remind me of these Mochaware pieces. This picture was taken in our local park at dusk.
