Wow, what an impressive trees !!

Thank you Jaap.

I love the shape of these trees, but the one in the foreground is just brilliant............and over 500 years old too...........how wonderful.

Beautifully composed in lovely light and colour Rosa. A great idea to keep the person in shot for scale. This definitely deserves to be viewed large...........the detail and textures in the trees is excellent!

They are amazing. I must see how many people it takes to join hands around it one day, when I have enough company at Stourhead :)
Thank you very much for viewing large and for your kind comments.

Mmagníficos árboles. Buena toma.

Thank you Marije.

Mais cet arbre est un géant avec son tronc...du jamais vu pour moi !

Merci beaucoup Danielle.

Venerable "old men" who deserve our respect!
Impressive and beautiful.
Have a nice evening!

They certainly have my respect Nouchet.
Thank you for your very nice comments.
I wish you a good evening too.

Wow ! Impressive, Rosa !

They are Ulrich :)

It is such a shame that the people who had the vision to plant such trees were never able to see them mature, they probably thought their way of life would go on forever and future generations of their family would continue to enjoy them, an of course like all the old estates it was done to impress and show their wealth

Great use of lead-in lines, Rosa. The curve of the path draws the eye very effectively along the line ot the trees. Cheers, Joe

I remember these giants, Rosa, have several photo's of them!!.... Really like your choice to leave the old gentleman in the picture... ;-))

Best wishes... John.
