I took this while back and never got round to posting
to anticipate touching what is unseen seems far more interesting than seeing what the hand can not touch

Hi Dante,

So glad to see your post again. You've captured a beautiful tree. I like how it branches out and the deep shadow in the woods as contrasted with the bright sky.

Very lovely and delicate - and I love the light and shade.

Reminds me of this Louise Bogan poem, written in 1922

Knowledge


Now that I know
That passion warms little
Of flesh in the mold,
And treasure is brittle,

I’ll lie here and learn
How, over their ground,
Trees make a long shadow
And a light sound.
"Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you" - Rumi

Wonderful trees, Danté. Wonderful photo too.
The way the two trees reach out to one another across the fence, really gripped me.
Sometimes black&white is the right thing to do; such as here.
