Driving back from Lawrence via Tuapeka on Saturday we came across these lovely trees in the rural landscape. Nigel had stopped to take a photo of some willows so I asked him to take photos of these trees too – some kind of poplar trees. Taken 21 September.
Clutha District, South Otago, New Zealand

or ‘such beautiful stillness’, even! Still waking up here!

So beautiful stillness, such a quite nostalgia in the colours, almost like they are about to walk away silently proud of what they will leave in the wake of their exodus

The feeling of serenity really comes across in the photos, which I’m very happy about because that was the reality and beauty of that particular moment where everything came together in perfect harmony.

It certainly did, well done to you both. On the other hand my message was rather unharmonious in its spelling, even quite instead of quiet! 🤭🤗😘

I love the moment when the trees reawaken in spring. 🙂 We have some kind of poplar trees in the field on the other side of the main road – I wonder if they were planted as a shelter belt.

The light’s beautiful. I like the gracefulness of the trees’ shapes, too.
