Trees are often imposing elements of nature. A forest is so much more than just a collection of trees. Each tree is beautiful to behold and together they form a resting point in the hurried modern world. Enjoying a walk in the forest is an excellent way to disconnect from everything and get your rest. The trees embrace you and bring you peace. Trees and the forest are always a great inspiration for me to capture with my camera.

But when looking at a tree, I don't just look up. I also like to study the trunk of the tree. Because the bark of a tree trunk is often beautiful to look at as well. It is extraordinary what can be discovered in there. Sometimes you see little animals crawling over the trunk and hiding in little crevices. And very often all kinds of things grow on a tree trunk. Especially if the bark of the tree trunk is nice and rough and uneven because then mosses and small plants can establish themselves well.
You can see a close-up picture of a piece of tree bark in this photo. Beautiful in texture and with several lovely natural colours. A beautiful piece of nature to bring into your home and create a haven of peace in your interior!

I find my sources of inspiration in everything around me...
