Every time he took a nice picture she was standing behind him watching. As soon as they walked on, their fingers intertwined.

Next to it is the man, packed and ready, and next to him his loving wife. The eye is drawn through the photo by the translucent sun and the rays of light around it. And somewhere, the body language of the couple resembles the 'posture' of the trees.
