The repetitive shadows make it so wonderful.

what a shame, I hope they can get it under control. Nice light and composition V

A very graphical design type of composition.
It's quite alarming to see the destruction these beetles can do.*

Beautiful well composed image. How ironic that these sturdy trees that can withstand the seasons, the rocky soil and the steep gradient are victims of such a small insect. "V"
