: Our 800yr old giant in the snow.; This is an ancient Douglas Fir that stands in our front yard.It is a challenge, to say the least, to get a good shot of this mighty specimen.I took this one from across the road,and I think the snow added some dimension to the shot.; Created by: Golda.; Tools Used: Canon PowerShot A75; Created on: Nov.06'; Image Views: 151; Average Views per Day: 0.3; Image Number: 32961

This picture went straight to my heart with its massive strength! Cover lightly with snow, it seems to say: "Hey! there's even icing on the cake for you!" I love trees anyway and this adds more joy - birds can nest among its limbs, children can climb and exchange stories. Without a doubt the color - "is it your home?" lends just the colorful touch to set off the picture. Heart-tugging picture. ......Anne

A splendid specimen, and well captured. I especially like the little splash of red-brown in an otherwise severely black and white image.
