Last Tree Standing ...

For this week's Sunday Challenge, which has the theme of trees.

Although I did go out this week and take a lot of shots with the challenge in mind, this particular one is one I took a while back whilst out cycling and which I hadn't got around to uploading.

The field crop had obviously just been harvested and I liked the barren feel not only of the tree, but the surrounding landscape ... a kind of scorched earth scene.

I love the attitude of lone trees.

I have to confess there were a few others nearby, but I cropped it so as to create the illusion of total isolation! :)

Glad you like it Valerie and I appreciate the fave too. :)

Must say I wasn't sure about the cropping. Don't know why, but I always feel wary of square crops, in the same way that you might have noticed I favour landscape over portrait ... just call me odd! :)

I understand how you feel, Paul; sometimes it's hard to follow your hunch and do the unconventional thing. But this time it paid off well!

the colours here work well together, and it does have a rather post-apocalyptic feel to it
