The Memory of Trees

For the group "Soundtrack to Life"-

The Memory of Trees by Enya: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be3XeghxjgM

Last winter I had ample opportunity to snap some interesting photos of tree shadows on snow-covered ground. When I came across this image in my photo archive, an Enya song titled "The Memory of Trees" came to mind. It also happens to be one of my favorite melodies. Enjoy!
