For those who may not know, this is an aspen grove.
Take a look at the trunks. Aspens self-prune as they grow, dropping lower branches as higher up ones grow. Where the dropped branches were are scars, those dark places. As the branches first grow they push up the 'skin' of the bark above them, see the little raised ridges?
And so the aspen have eyes.
Once you notice them, you will never 'not see them' again.
It very much feels as though you are 'not alone' when you're among the aspen. It makes some folks nervous but I like it a lot, as though they're the Eyes of the Universe watching over me and keeping me company.
