I took this photograph of a fallen tree on the Veluwezoom near the Posbank. I wouldn't be surprised if this tree was once toppled by some storm, on such a heathland, the wind sometimes wants to blow harder than in the forest. The fallen tree is a deciduous tree, I myself suspect it is an oak. I used the tree to create depth in this panoramic photo. I chose to put several standing photos together so it becomes a panorama, it also has an advantage for large prints. As you can see this tree has been there for a while, when I took this photo it was summer. The Veluwezoom is a National Park on the Veluwe in the province of Gelderland. This panoramic photo is the first photo that I put up for sale at Werk aan de Muur. It is also one of the first panorama photos that I took and that I have taken more often since.
