Ellen Borggreve about Bygone Days
These two trees have always looked like they had a relationship of some sort. I have known them my entire life and they seem to belong together. I took this picture in the spring, with little white flowers showing in the background on the right. It was also the last time these two trees looked so interactive, because the trees in the background has lost all its large branches and it looks amputated now. It won't be long before it will not be there anymore. The birch in the background has also vanished. These majestic trees from bygone days are struggling to survive and it breaks my heart. They feel like they are part of my family, they have seen my ancestors pass by on numerous occasions. They are the ones that are calling me to tell their stories, or rather to tell my story about them. To share the magic of these magnificent manifestations of life. I don't think I love anything more that these old trees, with their intricate branches stretching out seeking the light, with the scars of time on their barks and their crowns of leaves. I will keep photographing them for my project about trees that belong to my personal history. Just because showing their beauty might install in others an urge to protect them
