the tree before the forest

Now that I have moved to a new village, I am looking for spots for my "four seasons" project. I envision to take shots of the area around our village in different light and seasons. This view of the forest with the one tree in front really attracts me and was added to the list. I took this shot with my Blackberry, because I ventured off on my bike with sole sportive motives - and regretted that I did not take my camera, not even the compact.
There is a saying that sometimes we cannot see the forest for all of the trees...this tree leads to the forest somehow.
