sky, tree, dragon

one of the things that keeps surprising me: how a photo of a place we think we know reveals smaller and larger details that we missed. like in the sky photo above - i took it for the "dragon" that is caught up there in the twigs. (in German, a kite is called "dragon"). but i didn't really notice the crane in the background. or the thicker foliage in the lower part of the tree. is this new foliage, or remaining foliage of last year that still is sticking to the twigs, while the branches and twigs higher up are bare?
