Reasonably confident in that identification - note the characteristic reddening of the trunk towards the top - but grateful for confirmation or otherwise. The tree behind looks interesting too, but beyond my ability to identify (other than it is a conifer). The area surrounding them has been largely cleared of less appealing trees and scrub, I think as part of a plan to make it all look a lot prettier.
