@starjewel hosts a photocontest on whaleshares. Here her post with the daily themes.
Tuesday seems to be a day to honor the lungs of our Mother Earth. The Trees!
And when I see the theme trees, then I have a lot of fitting photos. The hardest part was to make a choice now. But this old Red Beech has a special place in my heart. It is a beautiful tree to see, but this tree has history.
Every time I walk past the place with the hnoden, I have to sit on the bench for a moment, just a moment to dream away. Next to me the Red Beech that affectionately leaves its branches hanging over me. In the summer its shadow casts over me to protect me from the sun, and the rustling leaves whisper the secrets of yore.
This Red Beech offers a beautiful view of the vjiver with Castle Heeswijk immediately behind it. And I can not help it. When I sit on that bench, I dream away ... What would the tree have seen? He has been there for a few hundred years. What would that tree have been through ... what secrets does he carry with him?
And looking at the Castle opposite me, looking at the Red Beech next to me, I see several scenarios pass by. From the Knight's time, until now. It is a pity that the tree can not talk, it is even more unfortunate that the tree is declared ill, and will disappear in the foreseeable future.
It is strange to imagine this place without this Red Beech ... so today a picture to remember the Red Beech forever.
