About the artwork

I discovered this meditative landscape shot during a photo walk in the Märkisch Oderland region on 26 March 2019 in the early evening hours. The photo was taken with the NIKON D90 (lens: SIGMA 18.0-70.0 mm f/3.5-4.5).
The reflection of the bare, tall beech trunks in the moorland water of the lake (Baasee) lends the poetic natural motif an impressionistic mood; the trees look as if they have been stippled with a brush.
I discovered this graphic, wintry motif at Lake Baa. Lake Baasee 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 Baasee 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 evening winter light. The abstraction created by the reflection of the trees on the surface of the water gives the elegant natural motif a fairytale-like, energising and healing pictorial effect.
The arrangement of the white, towering trunks of the deciduous trees lends the picture a particularly dynamic choreography.
The group of trees invites you to dance in order to restore your lost inner balance. The magical reflection of the treetops in the moorland water creates a dreamy atmosphere.
