 Thank you for your votes! I am happy about a place in the TT.

I took this picture on a hike to Andechs Monastery, it leads through a small gorge to a pilgrimage church. The mentioned "arrow" is a roofed cross. So it's a memorial for someone who died here - probably someone fell off this rock many years ago.
This is not an uncommon sight in Bavaria and in the entire Alpine region in general - but it is difficult to see for people who are not familiar with this

Love the sprawling roots that lead to the upright trunks, a chalice for the starburst. Too bad about the arrow.

I like the way you captured the sun directly in the middle of the trees and a very good starburst pattern. Top 3.

Your starlight is different in that it broadens rather than leads to a sharp point. I'm curious to learn what you did.
