Pond of Ghost Trees
The image shows a beaver pond filled with lily pads and surrounded by the trunks of standing dead trees. The still water reflects both life and decay, illustrating the cycles of change in a wetland.
Silence echoes with hidden labor.
The pond is both monument and home.
This photograph of a beaver pond reveals a quiet world where dead trees stand like sentinels, their trunks mirrored in water carpeted with lily pads. The image speaks to transformation, as nature’s engineers reshape the land into a place of stillness and renewal.
