Autumn leaves on a beech tree – a view into its golden crown by Laura Georgi Tier- und Ladschaftsfotografie

Your gaze travels upwards along the trunk of a beech tree, right into the heart of its
autumn foliage. Thousands of leaves stand between the viewer and the sky, each
one backlit – and thus not merely yellow, but
radiant: golden yellow, amber, orange, with the edges already turning rust-red
. In between, the thin, almost black twigs lie like a web.

The smooth, silver-grey trunk stretches into the picture from below and divides into
two sturdy main branches that support the foliage. Beech bark remains smooth
throughout its life; only the bulges at the base of the branches bear witness to its growth. It is precisely this
contrast that defines the image: a heavy, tranquil structure at the bottom, light, shimmering
light at the top. The photograph was taken against the low autumn sun; without it, the
foliage would simply be brown.

As a wall hanging, this motif brings warmth to a room. The palette of gold, orange
and grey harmonises with wood, linen, terracotta and warm grey tones, and looks
particularly good in living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, stairwells, offices,
meeting rooms, waiting areas, cafés or country hotels. In light, neutral rooms
it acts as a splash of colour; in darker ones, as a source of light. On acrylic glass
the yellow tones shine particularly brightly, whilst on canvas or fine art paper
the scene appears calmer and more picturesque.

A gift for forest lovers, autumn enthusiasts, walkers, foresters
and tree lovers, and anyone who prefers October to July.
