This picture shows two solitary trees standing next to each other in the morning mist. Their crowns are illuminated by the warm light of the low morning sun, which falls from diagonally behind and bathes the upper branches in a delicate golden colour. The fine structures of the leafy or bare tops stand out delicately against the bright sky - almost as if they were floating in the light.
The mist lies close to the ground, diffuse and soft, and plays around the trunks. The light creates a gentle separation between the bright heights and the darker shadow zones - a play of transitions that lends the scene a meditative depth.
The trees seem like silent sentinels in an unreal, still world. Not a breath of wind, not a movement disturbs the atmosphere. It is a moment of pause - captured between light and mist, between visibility and concealment.
This motif thrives on its reduction: two trees, a little light, a little mist - and yet a scene full of calm, strength and quiet beauty emerges.
