Trees Tuesday - The Chapel Tree

This tree stands next to a small chapel on a local vineyard. I encountered both during a walk in the freezing January of 2017.
The scenery was quite dramatic, as there was a storm looming to the left while the sun tried to stay strong.

I'm usually very hesistant to trying B/W in a landscape shot, as I often struggle a lot to find the right lighting. Any feedback would thus be highly appreciated :)
