 The images embedded in this gif-dump are selections from this year's competition for the European Tree of the Year.  The competition is not a beauty competition or really a photography competition - the winner is chosen in large part because there is an interesting story about the tree.  You can read those stories (and the identities/locations of the trees) at the link.
