Two very different winter photos of a very familiar scene. The Swedish Whitebeam at Välsta. I never get bored with this view as it looks different every time. The top photo is the most recent. I shot that yesterday when everything was very white. The blue sky photo is a week older. On that day it was much colder, and as you can see the tree was covered with frost. On both occasions I had to walk through the snow to get here, as part of the path leading up to the old tree hasnt been ploughed. But I guess that the extra exercise should be considered a bonus!
Skywatch Friday.

A Swedish Monet. He liked to do haystacks and Rouen Cathedral over and over again at different times and in different lights. I like your tree, too.
ReplyDeleteI like the weather there .. it's 40 degrees in KL !
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful ...
la première photo, elle est magnifique bravo
ReplyDeleteBoth photos are awesome.
ReplyDeleteMine is here.
That tree is amazing. Two gorgeous shots!
ReplyDeleteInteresting post. Two photos of the same scene but each one different. The work of a true photographer.
ReplyDeleteThis tree is amazing and I have been following it for a while through your pictures.
ReplyDeletealways, always happy to see this tree. two marvelous images, steffe. that kind of exercise is all you need to justify eating a lovely sweet upon returning home.
ReplyDeleteYou have taken so many pictures of this tree that there should be your footprints in the grounds, exactly where you stand ;-) very nice picture!
ReplyDeleteI love these comparison photos and I love this tree.
ReplyDeleteAlways find the old tree of interest - in every season!
ReplyDeleteThe frosty one is my favorite, if I had to choose. But the very best are both together. They tell so much about light, weather. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, Steffe. The second one is tricking the eye because the blue of the sky makes the tree seem a bit yellow. Also, love winter shots. It is 81 degrees F in LA today. Not very wintery.
ReplyDeleteHei, Yes, the trees are very similar.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog.
Thanks for your visit.
Very nice. I really dig that top photo.
