Yet another terrific “wow…scenery” shot. Time to get the brush cutters out.

I actually had the tree trunk in there on the right as well but it did not look good when all was said and done. You likely could not take this angle today as all of the trees and bushes have grown on the embankment and obscured the shot. It would be lumberjack time.
