Christmas??

We had a smile today down on Redcar beach. We thought the sand dunes had been planted with trees to help conserve them. On closer inspection we found some looked quite dead and in the corner of the car park near the dunes was a pile of old Christmas-trees due to be re-cycled! Someone had dragged them over to the dunes dug holes and planted them!! There was 2 dozen at least,we thought this picture was very funny!!

Strange find but well spotted & captured.

How weird - photo of contrasts though!

[Lynda McG]

Interesting shot!

Perhaps someone had suggested this a way to get rid of the trees from the house but preserve them. If the roots take, it will strengthen the sand!

Perhaps when they decay they will leave nutrients in the sand to encourage new growth of grasses ???

Great find!

It's interesting to see the foreground so clear and colorful and the background hazy and monotone.

What an unusual find! I can someone's reasoning - but just a little hard to do with dead trees :) Interesting composition.

Interesting contrasts and interesting shot. Sometimes, cities dump Christmas trees in order to cut back on soil erosion. However, those dumped trees are usually on their sides and these trees are upright.

Beautiful capture and dof. The Christmas trees would make a lovely addition to the beach.
