THEME: Trees
I love trees. Big, little; tall, short. With or without leaves. With or without flowers. With or without thorns. Any type of tree.
This magnificent tree is one of the many centennial trees in the Botanical Garden of Porto. I did not walked the whole garden, but if you ever go to Porto I would recommend you to visit the place.

Is the shadow of a tree also a tree?
I loved the shadow that is a shadow that is a tree. First place!
That's nice! Thank you!
Is it a philosophical question?🤔

Looks like a good place to stop for a while. Second place!
This is an old tree from the park, survivor of a storm that tried to uproot him. But with the roots left in the ground, he continued to live.
I am calling my sole tree. All his fellows were chopped down for tea plantation. He is looking back to his still standing friends which existence is a question of time. I hope they will stare at each other forever!
Let's hope the tree stands. Honorable mention!
Thank you very much. I am honored!
:)
I am going with the same image for your game and @r00sj3

Is a beautiful tree and a great picture. Honorable mention!
Great subject! I really love trees. All the different types, changing all seasons. Growing everywhere they can.
The first picture that popped up in my mind with this subject is this one from the 'Dooievlei' in Namibia. This really is a surreal place. One of the coolest places I have ever been. And that for an African desert 😂
Those trees were chatting, I'm sure of it :) Honorable mention!
Looks like a lovely place to spend some time. Third place!
So it is :) This is a forest park in Moscow, near the river, walking along it always gave me a lot of positive emotions. Thank you!
It's beautiful. The trees, the light...
The Huangshan Pine trees all over the mountains here are native species growing in high altitudes on steep rocks. They are bathing in the beautiful morning sun rays.
That pine tree on top of a granite column is called "a flower blossoming on the tip of a magic brush". :) The formation might be interesting for a geologist:
The fine-grained porphyritic granites were formed about 128 million years ago, and they weathered into a column under the influence of two vertical joints. The pine tree grows out of the cracks makes it a noticeable sight.

Check out Huangshan Pine trees if you love trees, you will be amazed by those better photos online. =)
