Reach for the Sky.

It was my cleaners day today and I like to vacate my home and leave them to it. There is a narrow lane going down to a farm just along along the round and when I reached one of the farm gates this scene confronted me. I thought the backdrop of the sky was beautiful with it.

The tree looked so big and strong I just had to capture it, please don't ask me what sort of tree it is as I'm not an expert on trees. Perhaps one of the viewers could educate me.

Best viewed with the magnify button above the picture.
