I had an awkward feeling after re-reading yesterday's caption. The 'much better view' is a bit inappropriate. It's like saying a steak looks much better than a dead cow... Tastier perhaps.
A picture of the poor bare desert to make up for the mistake. With a dead tree as the lonely surviver. It seems to be standard procedure in Europe, see Andy's shot http://365project.org/andycoleborn/365/2012-03-03
Or maybe it ain't dead and we're up for a surprise! We'll see in a couple of weeks :-)
