I love the silhouettes of bare trees in the winter.
Me too! I took these a couple of days ago, just before dark … the sky and cloud colors were just fantastic!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Wow, incredible colors. I’m also a silhouette fan – I’m sure an arborist could ID these trees, just from the shape.
Thanks! These trees are so massive — probably 80-100 feet high with a huge spread — which is even more apparent in silhouette-mode. I took the photos from almost a block away; believe it or not, they’re in someone’s back yard!
Perfect silhouettes!
Thank you very much!
Welcome!
