Was looking through my photos of Amsterdam and found this it was taken from inside a glass roofed boat.
I hope this is as Lowry would have imagined 'hand in hand' with his 'matchstick figures'.
This tree is fascinating and looks like a giant hand coming out from the Earth -
I wondered how it would look upside down so earth is sky and sky is earth, not to be taken too seriously just a bit of fun! It makes the picture look otherworldly to me -what do you think?

~we have some great specimens in out local park - it's was a medieval deer park and has some very old trees still standing.
It's amazing how nature takes it's course...
How it manages to take this...
and in well under a mile, makes this...
This little tyke was out in my back garden attacking a planter for some nesting material, she didn't seem in the least bit bothered about me and I managed to take these with just my 100mm Macro from a few feet away.
Right, lets have a bit of this...
Any more down there...
Think I need to get the Gillette out...?
Don't worry... I'll be back for more...
...and she is, repeatedly!
These, the name escapes me, have lived happily in my pond for the last five or six years... but for some reason this year there's no growth where they should be... so somehow they've managed to corpse it during the winter... 
It shows what true New York is like!
PS: Notice the New Yorker Hotel, it was famous with the Old Classic Hollywood Celebrities
For Aimée
Grandma, show me the photos of you as a girl
The big factory chimneys with black smoking curl
The noisy machinery blasting your ears
Dust clouding your eyes and welling up tears
Show me tall mountains touching the skies
A world disappearing in front of your eyes
Grandma, tell me the stories of you as a child
Running so free and running so wild
In meadows of green bursting with flowers
Making chains out of daisies for hours and hours
Tell me of summers of days in the sun
Long sandy beaches on which you did run
Grandma, where is the book full of creatures and birds?
Picture on picture and words upon words
Describing those animals most of them gone
Those that were tiny and those that were strong
What were they called? Please tell me their name
Why have they all gone and who was to blame?
Grandma, what happened to the world of your youth?
Please give me a reason, please tell me the truth
Was it the motor car polluting the air?
Was it great nations who just didn't care?
Let me sit on your knee and hear you explain
What really did cause all that acid to rain?
Grandma, where is the world that you promised to save?
That land of the free that land of the brave
Where are the towering hills once standing proud?
Where even the small could stand out in the crowd
How did it happen? Where has it all gone?
Did you just stand there whilst all this went on?
Grandma, please tell me I can't understand
Why there's so much sea and so little land
Will I have to grow fins and live in the sea?
Grandma, what is going to happen to me?
So many questions are making me wild
As I see the world through the eyes of a child
