Lord of the Rings pun aside, nature is a very strange thing (if you hadn't already realised). The main tree trunks in this picture are all in fact the same tree - all growing from the same basic stump coming out of the ground - I was standing in the middle of it to take the picture... very weird.

Very nice point of view. I like it!! Henriëtte http://home.kpn.nl/jonggolde jonggolde · 2011-03-01: 12:34
