Description
The features of this simple landscape are few: a lone poplar growing beside an unpaved country road, a grassy hill, and the cloudy sky of a beautiful early summer day. The tree stands tall, caught in the sunlight through a break in the clouds, and the road leads us up and over the hill.

I envy you for finding "the" tree on your quest--and a noble quest at that. I found one a few years back, took a quick shot hoping to go back one day, but learned since then that someone cut it down. I really like this image; I find it fresh and inviting.

I always love a photo of a lone tree, and this one is so outstanding. Your eyes go to the lovely tree at first but I want to know where that road goes!

Thank you, Karen. Would you believe we were on a quest for "lone trees" when we found this one? LOL
