Luminous, dancing winter ballet of beech trees by Silva Wischeropp

I took this luminous, meditative landscape shot during a photo walk in the Märkisch Oderland region in the evening hours of 15 February 2019 with the NIKON D90 (lens: SIGMA 18.0-70.0 mm f/3.5-4.5).
I discovered this graphic, wintry motif at Lake Baa. Lake Baa is located very close to Altranft between Bad Freienwalde and Wriezen in a basin surrounded by mountains. The mixed forest area is one of the most beautiful excursion destinations in the region and is one of the most famous forest areas in Germany due to its special tree population.
Even Fontane was inspired by Lake Baa.
He described it in his "Walks through the Mark Brandenburg".
Like the Unterfutter oak, the lake is shrouded in old myths and legends. Even in the smallest of areas, you will find the tallest tree in Brandenburg, many hiking trails and the Baa Lake bog with wild orchids.
Lake Baa is surrounded by magnificent forest, mainly beech and oak trees. The lake owes its formation to the last ice age. Situated in a basin, it has neither inflow nor outflow. It gets its water from the surrounding springs.
Slender, tall beech trees sway in the sunny, golden winter light against the blue sky.
The clear, graphic lines of the beech trees lend the elegant natural motif a powerful, energising and healing pictorial effect.
The arrangement of the dark, towering trunks of the deciduous trees lend the picture a particularly dynamic choreography.
The glow in the treetops radiates a warm luminosity. The strong mid-blue coloured winter sky creates a harmonious and confident, invigorating mood.
The group of trees invites us to dance in order to restore our lost inner balance. The magical play of light and the glow of the treetops in the sky lend strength and confidence.
