This week’s challenge at The Gallery is Landscape. So I’ll contribute this …

There’s no real story attached to this. It was just a grab shot from the car (no I wasn’t driving!) on A11 on the way home from my mother’s an evening in February 2009. I saw the picture but didn’t expect to get it across the traffic and from a moving car, let alone for it to be as successful as this. Driving from Norwich to London in the evening is driving into the sunset — and East Anglian sunsets can be spectacular even on a grey day such as this. I love the silhouettes of these trees and although I almost always look at them for picture, I’ve never yet seen anything nearly as spectacular as this.
