    Make no mistake – I really like this image, but at the same time it has an unusual, almost menacing feel about it. The trees make me feel as though they are moving! I like the framing and the angle of perspective. very interesting image!

    Great photo, Ellen! I like how I am drawn into the tree lined portal and my eye wants to see what is at the end of the long road. Well done!

    One more comment – the Southern Cities photos really took me away to another place and time. So many great images. Thanks!

    Tom, I think everything has a different meaning based on the times we’re living in. It in no way felt menacing in person. In fact it was very inviting – a beautiful mile and a half ride. It was a cloudy day so I took the photo in black and white rather than color and I like the contrast.

    I find this photo beautiful but frightening–hands reaching out to grab you. I’m sure that’s due to the emotional climate everywhere. Nature is surely a place of respite.

    The trees seem somewhat menacing to me too. Maybe it is the Southern Gothic feel of the branches and uncertain leaves. I think the infinite perspective and the allee are beautiful too.

    Beautiful and timeless! I love the arch of the trees/they’re so inviting. Well done!
