The architecture of trees
I've talked before about how winter lets us see the shape of trees, without their concealing camouflage of leaves. This is seen to best advantage against a clear sky, but also, as on the morning after the Winter Solstice, against a winter sunrise. This tree, just a few minutes walk from my house, is separate enough from it's neighbours to be viewed in isolation. We can appreciate the complexity of it's growth, whilst appreciating that this photograph is but a a 2D simplification of a 3D object that occupies a considerable space.
It was well worth venturing out into the -3 briskness of the morning to take this and other photographs:
