On page 4, there are some that resemble the ones that I saw yesterday. As to the inclusion of tree tops, I was always told that lightly-colored scenes need something dark to anchor the picture and give a sense of scale. That is why I chose to include the trees. At my house, on a corner lot with power lines on two sides, it is difficult to avoid the lines, but I try.
