Cloud of Life

There are definetely a lot of beautiful things to discover, even in the ugliest pure plantations of my hometown. Here i found (a few weeks ago) the first leaves of a beech - what a wonderful sight amongst all the monotone vertical lines of the pure plantation and all the bio-garbage on the ground. How much more sadly would the pure plantation look, if they also would cut these single beeches, that our ancestors once planted? I found a lot of little broadleaf trees, who were cut for no reasons, but being different to the wanted sort of trees.
I hope, that these wood owners wake up one day, that they are not only destroying the beautiness of their vegetation but also the ecological base of many animals - and to a certain degree also the health of their wood.

I was in the wood today and was crawling under the fern - so you see the result. :-)
The original colour image was set to mono and i also colourized and processed it a bit - it should be viewn in big and on a dark background (Simply click on "L" - and with another click on "all sizes" you should view it bigger.)
