Hanging tree by Iardacil on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

There have been many tales Tainted by truth twisted by time...

Some choose to forget Yet it still Weaves webs in their minds....

And it seems like she's been here forever Her branches as black as the seas She's been through it all By the luck of the draw She became the old hanging tree...

She asked for nothing Except maybe A little rain... They used her strenght To help them steal lives away...

And she witnessed the sadness and sorrow To this day she still doesn't know why And her heart broke When they came with the rope To declare her the old hanging tree...

Blackmore's Night - Hanging Tree

This is the first of three images I made this summer. Like every summer, it seems that some moment I found inspiration and want to work just on landscape instead of having model. Maybe it is because my summer cottage is in the middle of nowhere in the forest and all the green nature around me just makes me wish to make something purely of nature.

So.. this is for my love for the forest.. I could never go on without it.. I just love forest and green in ways I cannot express.. I love every summer just because I can be out of the stony city.. away from all the noise and hurry people.. all the yelling and things in the city.. So I treasure every moment I will spend countryside.. the sea.. the sound of the waves flushing to beach... the forest.. wind playing in high and old trees.. the green tones around me.. birds and squirrels.. and all the silence.. and the sound of the wind.. the peace and calmness.. Yes, peace and calmness.. those were the things I wanted to portray..

But as always.. when I work with images in summer on laptop.. the colors are never the same when I get home and open the file on my big computer.. so I messed around with them, trying to get them as close to the ones I had on laptop.. but it did not worked.. anyway.. I hope they are ok..

(and wait for few more works I did this summer..)
