Thursday Challenge – Trees
Trees!! Yes, that’s the theme this Thursday!
These beautiful pine trees abounds the countryside in Kashmir valley. These evergreen conifer trees have dense branches and produce long dark needles. In a young tree, the spreading branches form a pyramidal structure. During the mature phase, the tree achieves a picturesque flat topped outline.
Captured at Sonmarg in the Kashmir valley.

I have always awed at the conifers and pines when I were in North America. But I feel sad that I havent yet admired them in India. Hopefully soon.
