A beautiful (chestnut tree??)winter skeleton with twisted branches


A beautiful (chestnut tree??)winter skeleton with twisted branches (?? Horse chestnut)

Tree & shrubs without their spring/summer clothing reveals their bones which provides structure, shape, texture and colour to their environment. Plant skeletons play host to snow, frost and traps the light from the short daylight hours to form beautiful silhouettes.
This photo was taken in my local park.
