Solitude

The Fourth Day of Christmas
"Our own small stone of activism, which might not seem to measure up to the rugged boulders of heroism we have so admired, is a paltry offering toward the building of an edifice of hope ... For we can do nothing substantial toward changing our course on the planet, a destructive one, without rousing ourselves, individual by individual, and bringing our small, imperfect stones to the pile."

- Alice Walker,
The Impossible Will Take a Little While: A Citizen's Guide to Hope in a Time of Fear.

l'arbre prend tout l'espace, une esquisse face au soleil, une ombree forte...fragilité des apparences..

Beautiful ! Looks like a drawing with some ink of China ! And the shadow over the ground is powerful too. So much delicacy in your picture, Jack*

I love this John! I have a thing about trees :)

The most interesting thing is the fact that there are still some leaves hanging on the lower branches. To me this somehow makes the tree more and less desolate. Very nice ...
