Close to home (widwed050521)

Close to home is this tree on the top of a local hill.  It was on my way home from work and a welcome sight, particularly after night shifts.  I've not featured it in a blip for a while and as the evening light looks good on it - time to repeat the exercise.
Main blip is a three (portrait format) shot panorama cropped to square to exclude my shadow.   A more conventional view in the extra.

Both sharpen up seen in large.

Thanks to BobsBlips for hosting Wide Wednesday on the theme of close.
