2020-01-28 lolita stopped them "mid-tree"

I wanted to go back to the lake side today, to show you the looks of the now pruned plane trees. But the storm low "lolita" brought strong wind gusts, winter thunderstorms, sleet and huge waves are crashing in. So it was definitely too dangerous to work on the trees. So it looks like they stopped in the middle of one tree and they will work on later. Imho, they do a great work, and do not cut the trees so much. BTW: I know that all of you living by the sea, think those are "baby waves". But for our lake, they are huge. ;-) And yes, I got wet (not the camera), while exploring how near I can get.
Here yesterdays calm lake: https://365project.org/mona65/365/2020-01-27
nice composition ...and impressive waves on the lake !

Lolita gave them a piece of her mind alright. Awesome crashing waves.

Hope they get back to finish the job.. they are looking very sculptural.. those are huge waves for a lake.

Love this. They look so different after pruning. Love the waves!

Mona, I'm learning processing and layers etc, could I copy your style in March for rainbow month ( I know, it's ages away but I'm a slow learner!) I Love the uniformity of your calendar month.

Oh love your wave and sillhouette trees!! Fav

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Hi Jackie. Oh I feel honored, if my rainbow month is an inspiration for you. Please let me know, if I can be of any help.

@mona65 thank you!

What a difference to yesterday
January 28th, 2020  
Great wave action is awesome M. Love seeing this little part of your world. :)

The waves are great and it looks like the movement is continuing in the trees. The branches getting longer and thicker.

When I saw your picture of yesterday, I was really eager to see how you would manage to renew the interest of today's shot with the cut branches. What you have done to that end is a true lesson on composition, by changing the angle and the central subject, and by replacing the stillness of the couple and the coloured sign by the movement of the crashing waves. I am really admirative.

The one on the right seems to be warning the other two. Very much like it in silhouette.

The trees are like something out of the wizard of Oz!
