[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Under the protecting wing of an old oak...

The oldest tree of Estonia is also english oak, Tamme-Lauri oak in Urvaste village (Urvaste is situated in the north-western part of Vőru County). This oak is approximately 680 years old, 16 meters tall, 8.25 meters around and under protection.
The oak tree has long been regarded as a sacred tree to Estonians. It's the national tree of Estonia.
There is an old saying about oak timber: "Oak is the peasant`s iron". Some of the most fundamental parts of windmills were made of oak and the block that supported the anvil in a smithy was also made of oak. Most oak trees, however, were used in shipbuilding.
