the old oak at lake laach

At the end of February 22 I was once again at this oak to admire it from near and far.
Fascinating how much time I spent there, not only to take these pictures.

Es gibt keine bessere Jahreszeit für Schwarz Weiß Fotografie, oder? Bäume in Gruppen, mittendrin, am Rand, Baumstämme liegend oder stehend. Schnee und Nebel hüllen die Natur ein und verleihen ihr einen magischen surrealen Antlitz

a litle story behind the following series of 6 pictures

august 2021 Calabria in southern Italy, the usual forest fires,
fascinating and threatening at the same time,
later we fled from the fire, because it was unclear if the wind would be with us
nature, here the fire, is unpredictable

a series is created, and that is very close to my heart
my first thought was
"light as a feather, fragile as thin glass and translucent as silk simply beautiful"

...mostly very fragile plants, blossoms or leaves that I found on our walks through nature and
saved them to take home.
Through the Illumination of the very thin surfaces, one can literally look into the soul of the plants
