As Christmas approaches, the earth settles beneath a gentle cover of snow, and nature takes on a fairytale-like calm. The colours of the sky deepen, and the world seems to pause in a quiet, shared moment of anticipation.
It feels as though an unseen, benevolent presence has draped the landscape in white - trees, bushes, stones, hills, and small huts alike - inviting reflection, patience, and inner stillness. The scene becomes a meditation on waiting, on the quiet beauty found in moments before something new begins.
The strong trunk and wide branches of the oak stand serene and dignified, softly crowned with snow.
Silence. Light. Waiting.
