The guardian of the hill near Pratz | kewl's gallery

Imagine a narrow tarmac road winding gently uphill. On the left, a grassy bank slopes upwards to a field of short, dry grass. On the right, a field of tall, green corn stalks stands densely packed. At the top of the hill, where the road curves out of sight, a large, mature tree dominates the scene. Its full, rounded canopy of leaves creates a dark green mass against the grey, overcast sky. The scene evokes a sense of quiet rurality and the gentle climb of a country road.
