Trees - european oaks
Lyriks by Simon & Garfunkel - song title: Bookends:
Old friends,
Old friends
Sat on their park bench
Like bookends.
A newspaper blown though the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes
Of the old friends.

Old friends,
Winter companions,
The old men
Lost in their overcoats,
Waiting for the sunset.
The sounds of the city,
Sifting through trees,
Settle like dust
On the shoulders
Of the old friends.

Can you imagine us
Years from today,
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange
To be seventy.
Old friends,
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears

Hello Thomas,
nice framing by this old tree, good textures and colours.
TFS and best wishes,
Elena

Eloquent composition aptly accompanied by a touching lyric from Simon & Garfunkel.

Hi Thomas
You got the trees in a very nice 'pose'. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you caught this one well.

Hallo Thomas,
