Photograph by PETER LIK - TREE OF SERENITY

Sourced in Oregon - Being one with nature is a powerful presence, that's what I live for. We are constantly surrounded by beauty and sometimes you just have to feel it. Under the canopy of this tree is one of those moments I will never forget. It had just finished raining and the tree was full of life. I studied the tree from every angle and took a series of shots from the outside. It was wonderful. I wanted to take the composition even further and crawled under the canopy. I was amazed. This perspective was so powerful: the branches just reached out and told a story. The delicate leaves were like a veil, glistening with jewels of life: water. Instinct told me to put on a wide-angle lens and capture this beauty. A nodal point tripod head allowed me to take a series of exposures to capture the full beauty and breadth of this mesmerising scene. I hope you can feel the power and presence of the Serenity Tree as I did when I pressed the shutter. Mother Nature is in our hearts, our DNA, we just have to feel it. Gallery price 13.550€.
