Description
“Man is a piece of the universe made alive”(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
[Made in the park of the country-house Gooilust at ´s-Graveland/The Netherlands. That little girl was trying out her new bike which, as the mother told me, she had just got from Santa Claus. I can tell she did look happy!]

Excellent choice of focal length to give the wonderful compressed effect to the trees. This is really a remarkable photo.

Great Shot!
The passage way of the trees is almost daunting.

When I saw them I did not yet know about that Santa Clause aspect. Just saw them in the distance. But I must say it added a lot to the shot for me to know about it.

Thanks a lot. We hardly ever have snow here at the beginning of December. So Dutch children are used to a snowless Santa Claus.

Very lovely work. There are so many lovely avenues like this with big straight trees where you come from...you are very lucky.

We are most grateful towards the people who planted them. They had vision!

This would make a great black and white with the light on the trees, pathway and the white on the building at the end on the avenue

I agree that it would, but I must add that I would miss something in it.
