I took this photo on the Hulshorsterzand near the village of Hulshorst in the Veluwe. The light between Harderwijk and Nunspeet. When I was on the Hulshorsterzand was beautiful sunny weather even though it was just above freezing, you can see the blue sky. The Scots Pine is common in the Veluwe such as on sand drifts and heaths, the place makes for how beautiful the tree is. For the picture I have chosen this Scots Pine because it stands pretty free and also can see the trunks.

In post processing I removed small things like an airplane stripe. I chose to crop this photo from 2x3 to 3x4 size.
