Tree pruning, french style!

I took this picture last week during a visit to Montignac, as is normal at this time of year, all the trees had been pruned of last years growth, leaving a spectacular display of twisted branches caught by the afternoon sun and set against the blue January sky.
Unfortunately since this was taken the weather has changed for the worse, mainly very wet but still not as cold as previous years, still there's still time for that to change also!
