A huge tree, torn from its mooring, meets its end in the clear waters of Plitvice Lakes National Park while younger trees already begin to vie for the space it once occupied. It’s simply nature at work, but in a context of striking opposites and contradictions. We have life vs. death, the large playing against the small, the horizontal compared to the vertical, colorful opposing colorless, while the earth itself still clings tenaciously to the base of the fallen tree, even though it's dead. And finally the ultimate contradiction: that chunk of earth now cast adrift has become a massive living garden in itself!
