Old trees are fascinating in so many ways. Especially oak trees.

I often wonder : “How old are these trees?” and “what did the landscape look like when they were little saplings?” Think of all the history and development they have experienced through the years.

The appearance of an oak tree changes all through the year and display different kinds of beauty and color in each season. It is fascinating how the oak tree dressed up in white after the first snowfall. The white snow, resting on the branches, makes the beautiful shapes of all the crocked branches visible. Even though the pattern of the many branches is very intricate the white snow somehow gives the whole oak tree a calm expression. This is one of my favorite impressions of winter.
