I like empty hills with oneor three trees on the top of it. Gives it quite the feeling.

I know exactly what you mean. I grew up in the countryside but really came to appreciate the solace in the hills after my dad died. This photograph really sums it up.

This is like...the place of my dreams. It just looks so content and eternal, like you could sit there and never have to leave, because this place would be all you needed.

Is it possible to have a Daily Deviant? If so, I'd nominate you daily until you got chosen.

This picture is giving me quite a solace now!

It's fun adding new words to your vocabulary bank.

The shades are quite neat and I with that some areas literally looked black and white like this.

Bernie,
The photo is beautiful in full-width, but as I scroll back and forth, the left two-thirds also works very well, partly, I think, because it takes the far tree stand out of dead center.
