Stillness so straight and true

Into a tall stand of conifers at Stover Park i go

I laid down flat on my back and looked up this pine.

To get something of it’s quality of straight uprightness, it’s strength and solidity.

Wherever up you looked, these tall trees always seemed to be leaving some space in the canopy, a hole for the sky to fall through, and the sun to glance a glint.

I took pics, but none really did justice to what i was seeing and experiencing.

You could hear a pin – or pine needle – drop it was so silent in there.

And still.

Total stillness. Going up as far as the eye could see.

Straight and true.
