This tree is alone, it has no friends. The leaves are gone too, autumn maybe.

I feel depressed for the tree.Not only is it all by its lonesome, It is also has loss its glory. I can see a lot of similarities between it and human life to be honest.

That tree is devoid of any leaves. That place must be super dry.
Patricia
That sky is too clear. This must be some sort of desert

This is just too beautiful to look at. I love the lonely yet peaceful atmosphere that the picture gives. I can feel that going to that place, the wind is a bit chilly yet you can feel at peace.

I feel like there’s a lot of emotion that goes into this picture. I also like its ambiguity in that the stranger can be the tree or the person way out in the distance. Thanks for sharing.
