Description
At the edge of an unassuming country road in Saxony, a lone tree stands, its roots deep in the earth, with the wind as its constant companion. Its branches stretch toward the sky, as if silently watching over the landscape like a steadfast guardian. From the perspective of a deer moving through the tall grass, the tree almost feels alive, quietly observing the world passing by—yet it remains firmly grounded, unmoved.
The grass, through which we glimpse this silent sentinel, acts like a veil, concealing the secrets of nature. Clouds drift slowly overhead, while the infrared photography paints the grass and sky in surreal tones. It’s an image of stillness and presence, but also one of subtle motion—because while the tree stands frozen in time, everything around it is in constant flux.
The tree, a silent companion by the roadside, witnesses the changing seasons, the cars passing by, and people hurrying along. Yet it remains—steadfast and patient, part of the natural world that moves and grows around it. Here it stands, the unwavering witness of time, quietly observing but never revealing its stories.
"Silent Guardian by the Roadside"—A moment of stillness in a constantly shifting world.
