My favourite line of hawthorn trees photographed early on a snowy March morning in 2019. These trees are on an exposed hilltop near the lovely village of Nannerch in North Wales.

In 2020 Flickr selected this photo as one of their worldwide top black and white photos and it was featured by them as one the top 15 photos from the UK in 2019 : https://www.flickr.com/photos/flickr/galleries/72157712150290108/

Approximately 150 million photos are uploaded to Flickr each year so to be selected felt like a real achievement.

[Note: In early 2021 this line of trees was cut down and a new hedge planted by the Welsh Wildlife Trust]

Location: Nannerch
