Steve, when I read your title, it immediately called to mind a line from a book I recently wrote. I guess our vision of trees is the same.

"Beyond the patio the wall of trees that only a couple of months earlier had sheltered me from the summer’s heat stood naked, a line of impotent sentries unable to halt the advancing rays."

That picture looks like it could be right here in North Carolina!

We have forest after forest of that speciaes of tree.

Great picture Steve!

When I first moved to Florida, I thought that Florida pine trees were pretty poor specimens because they were "scraggly." Now I think pine forests like this are simply lovely, especially combined with our beautiful blues skies. Thanks for sharing this great picture!

Steve, Once again, a great submission from you! Perfect example of finding the 'lines' in nature to photograph!

Craig,

It could be in North Carolina except that it's in Florida. Pine trees are very interesting to observe. :)

Laurie,

Thank you. I agree that this is a beautiful setting. We have larger pine trees in various areas of the state, but this is nice. :)

Hi Steve...We have a number of tall pines similar to these in this area.  They have shallow roots and are worrisome in windy weather and when we have lots of snow or ice.

Guess you don't have to worry about the last two down there in Florida.

Sharon,

Yes, there seems to be a little difference between your trees and mine. Thanks for the great comments. :)

Kate,

No, fortunately no snow of ice. Wind, on the other hand, we have. Surprisingly, in a hurricane it's not the physical damage to the visible tree that ruins it, it's the root damage. :)

It might slow them up a bit but wouldn't really deter them. :)
