It felt like a tree had been standing on my head, then.
A tree stands on the site of the church itself.
Sure enough, there were four trees standing alone at one end of it.
There was no way he could get a clear shot at anything, the trees stood so thick.
The trees stood as if carved out of the dark.
There were much bigger trees standing behind them like a wall.
The little tree stood by itself on a table in the centre of the room.
By the date of my birth these trees had stood here for close to a century.
The trees still stand today, by the local football pitch.
The trees that were already there are still standing, though the ground level at their bases is now higher.
