Identify this oak-like tree snowy landscape?

[Helitron88]

Hi everyone, 

 

Would someone be able to tell me what this tree might be (link to the image: https://ibb.co/nwyjRv7)? I took the photograph on the island of Senja in Norway in february 2020. The tree is clearly an evergreen but not a conifer. I have no idea.

 

Thank you very much for any help

 

Best, 

Andy

Photo not very clear So first stab would be Holm Oak or evergreen Oak , Quercus Ilex ?

Not the easiest to see from that photo. How big was the tree? It does not appear to have leaves though it may have, it does look like a shrub of some sort but maybe its too big for that. Could be anything to be fair. As Stubby says could be Quercus ilex.

It looks like a Furu.  Or Scots Pine to you and I.

 

Branch structure and colour but not the foliage.  I think the lack of resolution and the snow makes the needles look like leaves.

 

I am probably wrong though.

IF the OP hadn't said it was a photo I would have said it was a painting

I apologise for the low res photo (part of a photography project I'm working on).

 

Here's another photo at higher resolution. It definitely had leaves.

 

If I may, I don't think it's a Quercus ilex, the leaves have needle shape (you should be able to see it in some isolated section in the image)

 

It can definitely be a scots pine maybe, it fits the needle shaped leaves and the region.

I agree with @Rich Rule now as the clumps of needles show up when zoomed in, shape is right and so is upper bark colour
