The roots of this small beech tree looked like giant prehistoric feet on this mountain forest path.
This image is also available on colour, but I really like the monochrome version because this emphasizes the prehistoric mood of this photograph. This huge claw was the root system of a tiny tree, which is amazing when you think about it. It had such a slender trunk and yet, this root system looked ancient and enormous. It was situated on the edge of a mountain woodland and after this there are soon no trees to be found and you enter the world of bare rocks with lichen. I love how this transition from trees to rocks is captured in this photograph, with the tree doing its best to grow on top of these rocks.
