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…

The Narrow Path
Digital artwork of a forest path, based on an impressionistic photograph, of course made by me ;)
And Then The Sun Stood Still
Winter solstice, the sun seems to stand still for a few days, before it turns towards us again. The light returns.
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

Silent Light
I stand still and watch,
as the pale light of dawn
silently dispels the night.
Early in the morning the light penetrates into the darkest corners of the world. After every night, a new day arrives…

Sad Song
Empty words echo over the earth
Lost in broken promises,
a sad song
whispers between the trees
'Sad Song' is the second artwork that is inspired by the recent fruitless attempts by world leaders to arrive at decisive measures and quick actions to combat the climate crisis.

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.

Forest Bloom
Flowers unfold,
coloring the forest white
The scent of dawn
For a commission, I created a series of artworks from Karina Mosser's painting 'Early Blooms' and my forest photographs in black and white. Well, and 1 with a color photo, I couldn't resist ;)
See here one of the results of this fusion of artworks.

A rain of light is falling
Puddles on the ground
Even in the darkest forest, the light will find its way to the ground.

Into Autumn Light
Fleeing the dark night
I wander
into autumn light
Early in the morning after a cloudy, dark night. The morning sun shines on the colorful carpet of autumn leaves...

Dripping Leaves
A light breeze
Leaves drip from the birch tree
Flying to nowhere
A beautiful autumn evening. I am sitting at the edge of a clearing in the woods. A light breeze takes the falling leaves, to nowhere....

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.

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

Rustling Light
The sun rustles through the reeds,
the wind listens breathlessly
A calm morning, the light of the early morning sun touches the reeds and seems to make it rustle softly…

Autumn Evening
I see a gray day
drowning in the last light
Autumn evening
During a long walk in a dark and grey forest, the sun briefly breaks through just before sunset. A perfect start to an autumn evening...

White And Silver
Winter retreats
dressed in bright white and silver
arranging the fresh green
A blue sky and the fading shades of white and silver of the trees, welcome the beautiful green of the arriving spring!

On a warm summer day
thousand leaves let go
and glide into the light

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.
