Everything is good, oh and green

Since yesterday I vented about what went wrong during the weekend and the trip back home, today I want to share something cheerful, different, pleasing to the eye (I hope!), that surprised me when I saw it.

On Saturday we went on a day trip to a place called Mount Grace Priory. It's the ruins of an XI Century monastery founded by Carthusian monks in North Yorkshire.

The ruins themselves didn't impress me much, especially after our trip to Rome, though the reconstruction of an authentic room was rather successful and impressive.

What really caught my attention wasn't man-made though. It was a tree, but not just any tree. I'm not super keen on trees usually; I like them but after a while they become...invisible. They blend with their surroundings and have to be special -- or solitary -- in order to stand out. Like sheep.

I want to live in this one though.
