A sunset pic of "the seven sisters" trees at Copt hill near Houghton le spring. The trees sit on top of a round barrow. "Excavation of the barrow in 1877 by Canon William Greenwell and Mr T Robinson revealed that the primary burial was a Neolithic cremation believed to be an example of an axial mortuary structure. There were also several Bronze Age cremations and inhumations, and an early medieval inhumation." Slightly spooky I feel!! LOL

Michael - A very pretty shot of this spooky site. The silhouette trees against the darkening evening sky are real nice. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine

Your right Mick very spooky, love the way the trees seem to lean in to each other as if they were sharing something. Great comp and colour too. Maybe a tad more of the hill could improve comp?
