Meditative winter ballet of beech trees - black and white by Silva Wischeropp

I took this meditative landscape shot during a photo walk in the Märkisch Oderland region in the evening hours of 15 February 2019 with the NIKON D90 (lens: SIGMA 18.0-70.0 mm f/3.5-4.5).
I discovered this graphic, wintry motif at Lake Baa. Lake Baa is located very close to Altranft between Bad Freienwalde and Wriezen in a basin surrounded by mountains. The mixed forest area is one of the most beautiful excursion destinations in the region and is one of the most famous forest areas in Germany due to its special tree population.
Even Fontane was inspired by Lake Baa.
He described it in his "Walks through the Mark Brandenburg".
Like the Unterfutter oak, the lake is shrouded in old myths and legends. Even in the smallest of areas, you will find the tallest tree in Brandenburg, many hiking trails and the Baa Lake bog with wild orchids.
Lake Baa is surrounded by magnificent forest, mainly beech and oak trees. The lake owes its formation to the last ice age. Situated in a basin, it has neither inflow nor outflow. It gets its water from the surrounding springs.
Slender, tall beech trees sway in the sunny winter light. The abstraction in monochrome black and white gives the elegant natural motif a timeless, energising and healing pictorial effect.
The arrangement of the dark, towering trunks of the deciduous trees lends the picture a particularly dynamic choreography. The dark, emphasised winter sky creates a dramatic mood. The group of trees invites us to dance in order to restore the lost inner balance. The graphic realisation in black and white tones makes the artwork perfectly suited to living and working spaces. The enchanting play of light and the glow of the treetops in the sky lend strength and confidence.
