I will lay me down...

I'm a total tree hugger, I didn't hug this tree though, but we did lay under it's shady branches for while.

Pavli!
I wish we had trees like this here! :(
It's so sad. Whatever....
I love the angles of this tree, and the light peeking through the leaves and on the ground.. just beautiful. I feel like I could lay under there forever...

@Sergei Z: thank you Sergei, it really was mighty. Some of the branches were so large they had to be held up by wires...

Dobrý vecˆer Pavla,
Is this a life oak? They are so huge, and a good place to hang around under on a hot summer's day.

P.S.: Your name and one of your photos where you show your home town Prague. I visited there a very long time ago when I was a student. It was only 5 weeks after the Soviet invasion after the spring of Prague. We were twinned with a teacher's college from there, they had visited us in Germany in the spring, full of hope and enthousiasm, but when we returned the visit with our teacher's college the whole city was terribly depressed....
