This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I can't tell from this far away, but if those trees are deciduous then they lose their leaves in the cold weather
So a winter photo might not be as good of a comparison as a summer photo because even if there were exactly as many trees in each photo, the winter one would look like there are fewer.
You can still see the trees on the left and the right ๐ค like outer border is identical, just a swath cut through the middle. Season can have an effect but it seems pretty clear here.
In that region they typically hold on to their leaves and they slowly come off but keep most of it through the winter, depending on wind to blow them off.
