Wandering through the colonnade of the giants…
The photos in this series have been made in forests in and in the vicinity of the nature reserve National Park Thy, northwest Jutland, Denmark.
Some forests in this region were planted in the early 1900s, but there are also ancient forests, with many trees that are hundreds of years old.
I started adding links to my artworks on Saatchi Art, and to contact forms with which you can ask for a quote.
Even if the links have not yet been added, the photo is of course available as a print. In that case, please fill in the general contact form.

Memories of the night
The sunlight gently
pours a radiant
young day
amidst the sleeping
trees. Darkness’
brightest shadows
flee to the
forest’s depths,
cherishing the shades
of past dreams
as memories of
the night.

Tree after tree, each
of them veils the light,
leading me to the
quietness of darkness

The cold wind tore
the last leaves of
the souls of the trees

Abandoned dark forest,
the storm has died down,
but no walker ventures
among the creaking trees

Wandering through the depths of the forest,
Insignificant and small we are
