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.

Weeping wind
A cold wind weeps into
the sleeping forest, soothes on
a bed of fallen leaves

Light of oblivion
The winter sun covers
the sleeping titans of the forest
with the soft light of oblivion

Pillars of the sky
Wandering into the winter,
sheltered by the guarding
pillars of the sky

Wandering memories
In the gray mist of a winter dawn,
memories wander
between the silent trees

On a gray winter day
On a gray winter day we walk in the woods
The sun is pale white, as if cold as snow
Dried grasses reflect the colors of the clouds

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

Naked souls (II)
The cold wind tore
the last leaves of
the souls of the trees

Strolling down the beech lane
Enjoying the winter light that plays with the leafless branches of the trees.

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

Colonnade of the giants
Wandering through the depths of the forest,
Insignificant and small we are
In the colonnade of ancient giants

Silent morning

Naked souls
The cold wind tears
the last leaves
of the souls of the trees

Winter trees
Bare trees in the forest
Unmerciful winter light
Close your eyes to the sun
Sleep all winter long
