This play of contrast and light between the fog and the sun's rays which hardly perforate the foliage, draws this young solitary pine although in the heart of a forest. This young tree, which still seems to be feverish, seems to promise a dazzling rise. 

In the early 2000s, Hans Silvester dedicated a work to trees. It must be said that as a child of the Black Forest, trees have marked his youth. They accompanied his walks, his friendships, his camps, his solitude too.  A saddened witness to the madness of mankind, Hans Silvester shows his commitment to the defense of nature. Beyond the forests, it is the individual trees that capture him: they are living sculptures that give rhythm to the beauty of the place.

Retour De Voyage selected this photograph for its subtlety: the tree is born by the contrast of the lights.
