    Beautiful! We won’t get to see these planets aligned like this again for many many years!

    Time flies. Only recently one could admire them ‘pearls on a string’. Your oak tree certainly did.
    Ah, a kingdom for understanding oakish …

      Those pearls have been fascinating me for some time now. I just haven’t had the opportunty to take a perfect photo of them…

      The Oak tree does seem to be enjoying them and vice versa :-)

    I saw the same things, except where you have your tree I have the snow caped mountains. I also have another favourite view I use – two sections of the mountains dip leaving a notch and during the winter the sun sets at that notch giving some spectacular shots, especially when there are clouds to reflect the sun.

    Long may your tree last, I know my mountains will.

      I would love to see your view, it sounds wonderful :-)

      The slight orange glow in this photo was the sun setting. I have struggled to get photos, the angles are all wrong. This one was through an upstairs window, avoiding getting the twin moon effect due to the double glazing…

      I hope the Oak tree lasts for a long time, I am quite attached to it :-)

    Poor oak tree, the ivy is going to kill it… :(

      I thought that when the Ivy started growing there. But the tree has grown at an alarming rate since the ivy arrived, so I am not so sure any more…
