Description

It's a crop from

this HOO

and I tried to bring out better the interesting structure on top of the dark area.

There is an great image from Chris Smith, who found out that it looks like a lightening tree, The Tree of Enlightenment or the Bodhi Tree and that a strong SII signal let glow the treetop in his image.

In my bicolor the treetop isn't so glowing, but I think the tree is visible and I would like to capture SI also.

(from german Wikipedia: According to Buddhist tradition, Siddhartha Gautama experienced the "awakening"; (Sanskrit: Bodhi, often inaccurately translated as "enlightenment";) sitting under a poplar fig, and thus became the Buddha ("awakener";). Since then, poplar figs have been considered a symbol of Buddha in Buddhist art. It is often depicted in reliefs and pictures of Buddhist temples.)
