Leading Lines: Tree with Hands, Paimpont Lake

Most days I walk past this tree, yet never cease to be amazed at its form. If your imagination is in top gear, you might, like me, see these arched branches have 'hands', upturned, as if they're trying to cup water from the lake.

I see her hands, very dainty and elegant, for a tree

Fabulous lines, and yes it sure does look like hands cupped to scoop water out

Ha ha, I do see the hands, and I love all the wonderful textures on the tree.
