Why Dendronphoto?

Dendron is the ancient Greek word for tree. Trees are one of my favourite natural subjects, not only for photographic purposes: their height, their large stems, their deep roots inspire majesty, strength, power, endurance, ancient wisdom and attachment to life. At the same time, their buds, their delicate flowers and the soft spring leaves remind of tenderness, fragility and need of protection.Trees are to me a symbol of the mystery of nature.
