That's a good one, @seckorama. That tree caught my eye (the shadows) from the first, but what you made of it...wow!
As for the elections: Will the European elections be a harbinger for U. S. elections? We truly are one world, aren't we? Restlessness and disquiet driving people toward change. Do they understand what they are choosing, or do they just want something different?
As a student of history (that was my undergraduate major) I take the long view. And yet, I feel the urgency of the moment. I guess we'll see where this disquiet takes all of us.
