What happened to these trees?

[Renee Salamon]

The pollarding makes them look really stark but lovely nevertheless with the snow

They do look so strange in winter, but beautiful in summer ;-)

They’ll be back.

Looks like the tree has been pollarded to control it's size. Looks rather strange when first done, but the tree will look lovely in the spring when lots of new growth starts. I love the silhouette of the tree against the low sun - fav!
