The "standing-only" tree.
This is a simple image, but with a certain message behind it.
At first glance, you just see a tree in the moors on a quiet day.
One small cloud in the sky and a parched landscape from the bright sun.
The tree is a focal point in the landscape, it stands out and is clearly the subject.
The compostition I used here makes the image calm but still interesting to look at.
The grass in the foreground blowing towards the tree and the small cloud in the sky bring the picture together.
It still brings a quiet room to life with a bit of nature.
Additional story :
The "standing alone" tree is also an example of how it can be to feel alone, the grass under your feet dying from the sharp heat of the sun, there are hardly any clouds in the sky to stop this. And yet you try to stand tall and proud, clinging to the only hope you have. The little cloud in sight that just might bring some water with it. Water that you are waiting for.
This tree looks alone, but of course what you don't see is that beyond this frame there are many more trees that also rest their hopes on the little cloud.
