Giuseppe Garibaldi was an Italian military and political figure. In his twenties, he joined the Carbonari Italian patriot revolutionaries, and fled Italy after a failed insurrection. Garibaldi took part in the War of the Farrapos and the Uruguayan Civil War leading the Italian Legion, and afterward returned to Italy as a commander in the conflicts of the Risorgimento. He has been dubbed the "Hero of the Two Worlds" in tribute to his military expeditions in both South America and Europe. He is considered an Italian national hero.

Personally I would have had the front of the fence in Focus and then let it drop off, but that is just my preference.

This tree typically flows with every breeze, but on this day the wind was stronger and combined with rain. It was lost in Charlie. (5 years and 2903 days ago)

You're right there is rain, but the wind is strongly blowing the rain left to right and the tree as well.
