Thank you. I love old art movies, and this seemed like an example of foreshadowing.

Camelops and giant ground sloths would have loved to munch on leaves and tender branch ends.

Honestly, I thought it was going to be a photo of a bug. I like bugs. Thanks for sharing.

Trees don't like that. That might explain the thorns.

creatures from eating their leaves and branches.

Sharp thorns against a soft focus background.
So you like art films? Me too. This would remind me of an Ingmar Bergman film, perhaps The Virgin Spring, or something along those lines. Or maybe Carl Dreyer, Vampyre? A good movie to watch this time of year! Fritz Lang in his German Expressionist peak (I'm thinking Siegfried)
I always like looking at your pictures, alfredo!

(60,077 posts)13. Thanks. I was thinking of Virgin Spring too. The best revenge movie ever.
