It was one of those days without a cloud in the sky.
The heat wave was upon us and tormented those who weren’t at the beach.
I was on my way to the sea, when I passed the old oak, which is over 800 years old.
The tree was not very pretentious at a distance but that perception changed quickly to curiosity when I got closer.
The oak tree is hollow.
I walked through a tall passage in the tree trunk and suddenly I was in another world.
A world of silence and a welcome coolness. Actually I’ve experience this before, in a church!
I look attentively around in my newly discovered cave.
The tree gives me notions of a stalactite cave but that illusion is destroyed by the look of the green oak leaves through a hole in top of the cave.
Georg Weisler, a catholic forester used the cave as a pray chamber, maybe he was druid, in secrecy ❤
Forester Georg Weisler lived in the years 1792 – 1854, and came from Bohemia.
Magnificent! A retreat from the world, even for Georg Weisler.
Thanks a lot! A retreat is the right word for the hollow oak 🙂
Beautiful –
Yes it is, Leya. I have reinforced some of the colours in the existing lichens and bark, but it’s really impressive in itself.
😊
An amazing old tree!
Thanks for that. The more you know about the trees, the more exciting it becomes!!
Awesome pictures of trees, Hanna.
Best wishes.
Dear Isabel. We have the most beautiful old oaks north of Copenhagen. The trees are really worth a study.
Feliz fin de semana ❤
Hanna
I never used to pay much attention to trees, Hanna, but they do reward you if you do 🙂 🙂
I find they do, Jo 🙂
They are quite interesting the more you learn about them.
Hope you solve the problem with your laptop!!
Wish you a blessed evening and a happy Sunday!!
Thank you 🙂 🙂
