The poplar trees are from my friend's place in Rabun Cty., Ga.  I took a photo to catch the way the light of evening shown through the trees.  Upon looking at it I noticed that the poplars seemed to be forming up into a circle and so I took that and the light of evening to create a composition that doesn't exist but captures innumerable scenes from our hikes on the trails into the North Georgia woods.
