B&W Photo Contest - Trees - Branches to the sky

Every time I walk through the park, I feel better, quieter, more confident. Why? Because between me and the living nature of the park there has been a beneficial energy exchange for both parties. Sometimes I hug a tree. It's my way of asking for permission to take a picture.
This is an old acacia in the park.
