Your composition has an interesting juxtaposition of an old gnarled tree trunk with the old church.

There is a house I pass occasionally that has similar trees in front and they prune them back like this every year.

Never seen any like these!! What great shots -- as always! Hope your weekend is going well, JM! Enjoy!

I never understand why trees get pruned like that, JM!

Strange trees, I've never seen.

What an incredible angle. How is your neck? You managed to get everything into this beautiful photo of a beautiful church...

Terrific composition, JM. Europeans do this far more than Americans do.

Randy said...

I agree with Kate.

Bet they come back beautifully and....in the meantime you get a great view of the old church :)

I love the way trees like this send out a ball of leaves in the Spring/summer ... assuming they are similar to the ones we have here.

The Church facade is wonderful and I'm impressed by so lovely blue sky!

Quite a contrast between the church and the trees.

I'm struck by how, from a New World perspective, that church would be quite old, but from the European point of view, practically new.
