Breklenkamp, the Netherlands

This ‘bakspieker’ (cottage used for baking bread) was built in 1738. However, in 1900 the tenant of the house wanted to expand it to include a pigpen. Baroness van Twickel, the owner of the land, didn’t like that as the oak next to the house would have to be felled. The tenant, who was apparently quite solution-oriented, found it no problem at all and built the extension around the tree. Every year, the size of the tree increases by about three centimeters, and the roofpanes move along with it.

Oak Tree! Because only the oak log was complicated to use the color palette nicely.

Wisptober 3 - Chanterelle

 "It was not fireflies going up the oak tree that night, but 3 little Chanterelles who had left their usual spot, under the ferns, to go exploring the world above them."

Happy new year!

«Franken-Ikonta 6x6», Kentmere 400

(This camera had a broken shutter, so I «transplanted» a working lens/shutter assembly from an Adox Golf with holes in the bellows. Two scrap parts became a unique Ikonta 523/16 with 75mm f/4.5 Cassar lens in a simple Pronto shutter.)

Odin in der Halle Wolsungs (Odin in the Hall of the Völsungs) by Emil Doepler

The old man (Odin) places the magic sword Gram into a mighty oak tree Barnstokkr after entering the hall of the Völsungs, saying that it could belong only to the warrior who could pull it out, and whosoever could would be assured victory in battle.

I already posted this to my main blog (@aloeveraspeaks), but I decided to post it here too!

And I removed the leaves on the trees so you can see more of what's in the background
