The Hazy Shade of Summer...

Pine trees are disliked by many, however, I see patterns of shapes in the rows and how they contrast with their immediate neighbours.

I like how the hills in the distance and the rolling deciduous trees at the base hold it all in.

A dull flat morning light that was flatter than a rolled out pancake...

Cue much extra contrast enhancement, darkening of the top and other bits and then black and white conversion, then an added slight colour tone.

Have a quick look in LARGE

I was (nicely) surprised that my Strawberries Blip made it into the Spotlight - many thanks to all who helped hoist it there! (It also makes for a very effective and startling screensaver!)
