silence

Yesterday I re-visited one of the most beautiful places in the Southern Black Forest, called Schauinsland. This is a beech tree that got its shape from the steadily blowing wind.
The weather was really uncomfortable (fog, wind, heavy snowfall, -5°C) but perfect for shots like this one. I’m really happy with how it came out. I didn’t convert the photo to b&w but due to the fog there were no colors. So it’s a “natural” b&w. 🙂

Goodbye 2007

Last one from the beech tree series at the Schauinsland, Black Forest …. (maybe). 🙂

Well, 2007 is almost over and I would like to thank everyone I was in contact with last year. Thank you for all your comments, thoughts, discussions, criticism, wishes, views, hugs, smilies and last but not least: Thank you for sharing your photos on your photoblog. I really enjoyed viewing your photos and reading your thoughts. I wish you all a good start into 2008!

Cheers,
Matthias
