Another of those spectacular trees that seems to be on the move. Love this, love the title. When I first read it in my activity feed, I thought it said ‘Pinheaded’, but this makes far more sense.

The clouds look like armoured with steel for a very unfair battle, but the denouement is not guaranteed…

the clouds went for a knock out, so the tree jabbed it’s way to a points victory ;)
