beautiful late summer/early autumn shot with the sun shining through the still green leaves! i like those tiny alder cones a lot – they look pretty during winter, too, when they are dark brown, and covered in snow or hoarfrost… greetings, sabine.Comy 27/09/2009 6:48

Ach Mark, diese Aufnahme ist wunderschön, die Kontraste wirken hier ganz herrlich, der zart-verschwommene HG bringt den Ast hervorragend zur Geltung.LG Astrid
