I snapped this through the car window which has made the sky a bit intense.
The poplars are standing tall in the sunshine, but the remains of their companions on the hill further on lie felled :( The felled trees are Wilding Pines, which are very invasive and need to be controlled.They spread very quickly and as they have no berries or nectar become a threat to native birdlife and insects and the pine needles cover the ground, preventing re-vegetation..They are classed as a weed.

Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness.
~Khalil Gibran

A line of straight line of tall straight trees and the road lead the eye to the lower right area of the image. Nice composition and a good capture.

Very nice scene the way these trees are lined up, Lyn. The sky is intense, but a very beautiful blue.

Interesting perspective of the trees diminishing in size throughout your frame. Fantastico, LE!

Thought that you had visited my country Lyn, because this view is rather similar to the one that we can see in our polders.

Like the perspective in this one too. Thanks for this very good image!
