The Narrow Path
Walking in silence
between the shadows
of dreams to come
It is quiet in the forest. The dense foliage brings coolness in summer, the impressive trunks of old trees provide protection when the wind blows hard. Time for a walk on narrow paths, deeper and deeper into the forest.
Twilight Of Autumn
Twilight. The glow
of old trees,
burning in autumn sunset
Fall is almost over, winter is announcing itself. We say goodbye to the intense colors of decay that make autumn so special, and greet the calm color palette of nature's resting time.

Entangled In Sunlight
Branches entangled
Birds swallowed in sunlight
Even the leaves do not move
Fragrance of Summer
A warm day early in the summer, it is windless. The dense foliage filters the sunlight. Birds sing, but are invisible in the golden-green light.
For this artwork, I used one of my own impressionist photographs and fused it with a fragment of an abstract expressionist painting by the Canadian painter Jules D .

The Morning Sun Awakens The Tree Spirits
The morning sun dances
from branch to branch,
whispering words of light
to awaken the spirits of the trees
Tree elves... There is certainly something special to see when you walk through a forest early in the morning...

Light Of My Thoughts
In the morning of my dream
only shadows will remain
echoing the light of my thoughts
'Light of my thoughts' is one of the photos in a four-part black and white project, in which I photographed tree lanes as a charcoal like sketch. And I admit: it's my personal favorite in this project :)

Saturday Sun
Saturday sun
Came early one morning
In a sky so clear and blue
Saturday sun
Came without warning
So no one knew what to do
...
[Nick Drake)
Early on a Saturday morning, a light mist is quickly dispelled by the sun. The autumn light plays with the few remaining leaves on the trees.
Winds Of Light
Swirling winds of light embrace the trees,
playing a sunny serenade on the branches
embracing me, touching my skin...
A cold day, the sun does not have enough power to warm up the fresh breeze. It's a very special feeling, almost as if you can feel the light on your skin.

A New Day
Light. Hidden
behind a veil of silence
of the fading darkness
Celebrate a new day
Every day
Dawn. A dense fog is hiding the light. But then the sun rises and darkness fades.
A Shower Of Autumn Light
Autumn morning
The scent of fading leaves
under a warm shower
A walk in the forest early on an autumn morning. Do you know that wonderful scent of moist autumn leaves that are heated by a shower of sunlight?

Song Of The Leaves
In the autumn sun
Voices in the forest sing
In the rising haze
After many days of rain, the late afternoon sun shines almost horizontally through the damp forest. It is quiet, except for a soft rustling, a song of the last leaves of the trees…

Dreaming An Unending Spring
Will you
join me
for a minute,
dreaming of an
unending spring?
A warm, dry day in May. It is quiet, not a breath of wind. Everyone seems to be dreaming of a never ending spring.

Endless Road
This lonely road has no beginning, no end
The voice of the rain whispers among the leaves
A dying wind announces twilight
Almost Home
A dark gray day. It is beginning to get dark and the wind is finally abating. A curtain of rain obscures the view. But I know this road, I know we're almost home.

Weeping Wind
A cold wind weeps into
the sleeping forest, soothes on
a bed of fallen leaves
A foggy winter morning in the beautiful old forest 'Dover plantage' near the city of Hurup Thy.

Shadows Of Dreams
Walking in silence
between the shadows
of dreams to come
A beautiful spring day, early in the morning. I walk on a path between the fields, it is quiet, except for some noise of the wind and a few birds. The morning sun dazzles me a bit, the dark sides of the trees slowly glide past me. It feels as if I am walking through an alley of dreams that fleetingly present themselves to me.

Foliage Of Light
Autumn trees
proudly show
their foliage of light
The trees have almost completely lost their leaves. But on a sunny day they are decorated with a canopy of light, when a low sun is playing hide and seek between the branches.

Strolling On A Leafy Lane
Footsteps in the dust
strolling on a leafy lane
even trees are asleep
A hot, dry day in May. It is quiet, not a breath of wind. Everyone seems to be sleeping, even the trees...
