Secret Places
The trees don’t sleep at night
they drink the silence
and breathe the breeze
that rustles the leaves
until new light is born.
When you walk deep into a forest, you’ll find them: secret and quiet places, where almost nobody ever comes.
The wind and the sun play with grass and leaves, painting together a constantly changing scenery…
Rooted
Stillness in your heart
The roots of a tree
in a November storm
In all the turmoil of the world, there are trees that remain standing perfectly straight. Offering protection and holding on no matter how severe the storm rages around them. Deeply rooted, connected to the earth and to the trees around them.
Find your tree, cherish it and hold on to it.
First Kiss Of Light
A bright morning arrives fresh and new
Pine trees lean toward the first kiss of light
We walk together among the trees
as the sun climbs into a warm spring day
Green Song
All day in the spring rain
Wandering between the trees
Birds sing a green song
Do you know the sound of green? Listen to the birds in the trees after the rain.
Do you know the scent of green? Take a stroll through a wet spring forest.

In A Dream
In a dream
you came to me on the silver
of a winter morning
Without a sound
you disappeared
into the light

And Then The Sun Stood Still - Summer
Summer solstice, the sun seems to stand still for a few days, before it turns moving away from us. The days get shorter and darkness takes over again.
Frozen Sunrise
A silent walk among the pines
through the dissolving silver-blue mist
Sunrise illuminates the snowy trees
and fills the sky with a new day

Colors Of The Morning
The day awakens,
my eyes slowly blend
the colors of the morning,
painting the world
ever brighter, ever sharper,
until the dream is gone
Winter Night
Purple hazes swirl
between the bare trees
This cold winter evening
welcomes a moonlit night
Frozen Scent
First snowflakes falling
The cold breeze is scattering
frozen scent of pines
After two years without 'real' snow, some snow fell in northwest Jutland earlier this week. Above that, it was cold enough for a few days to enjoy the white landscape.
A wonderful moment for a walk in a forest. The delicate scent of damp pine trees is dispersed through the forest by an icy breeze.

Misty Morning (2)
Morning breaks over the silent forest
Clouds of mist rise from the moss,
carrying the cold of a winter's night
On the threshold of spring, I walk through the woods early on a cold and misty morning. Shreds of mist rise from the ground, the day is beginning.

Spring Light II
Playing silently,
jumping from branch to branch
Spring light
A pine forest on a sunny spring morning. The light of the sun is playing between the trees, inviting us to follow her deep into the silence.

Winter Evening
In the thin air of a cold winter day, the light silently fades behind the trees. The forest becomes silent.
Into The Day
Early in the morning I am
alone, breathing
the cold remnants of
the night, thoughts
wandering in silence, waiting
for the new light. Your hand
brings me to the now,
caresses me, together
we walk into the day.
It's still dim when I wake up. I get out, I can't stay in bed. For a moment I go outside, it is cold. I enjoy the quiet first hours of the day.
Then you wake up. Your hand touches me, a warm embrace, a kiss. The day begins.

Blue rain falling to earth,

Wrapped In Gold
Alone, listening
to the fading day
The trees
give their yellow leaves
back to the earth
They know what I need:
silence
wrapped in gold
An autumn evening, yellow leaves gently fall to the ground. The sunlight wraps them in gold.

Lost In Memories
Musing trees in morning mist,
the new day hesitates and knows
they lose themselves in memories
It's still early in the quiet foggy forest. The new day seems to hesitate to start, so as not to disturb the trees at their musing.

Golden flakes of light float through the cold evening air, bringing the last light of the day into the darkening forest.

Pine trees in bloom -
A pathway into what was

Awakening Forest
Snow remnants melting
A soft breeze intoxicates me
The scent of a new morning
After a period of snow and frost, it has started to rain gently. The last remnants of snow melt, the damp forest breathes the wet fragrance of new life.
DOVER PLANTAGE, NEAR THE CITY OF HURUP THY, DENMARK
Scent Of Early Morning
A pine fragrance,
damp ground awakens
The first light
softly caresses the moss
A spring morning blends
with dark scents of the night
It's early in the morning.The first sunlight touches the moss between the trees. And as if the forest had been waiting for it, immediately the most wonderful scents rise up and mingle with the nightly smell of damp leaves and wood.
