ABOUT THE PHOTO
This photo is taken by George Grigoriadis
In winter, the birch trees of Dalarna, Sweden, stand like silent sentinels, their white bark peeling in places to reveal dark, textured layers beneath. The black markings on their smooth trunks create a striking contrast against the snowy ground, adding to the melancholic beauty of the season. As their bare branches reach toward the pale sky, the stillness of winter deepens, wrapping the landscape in a quiet, almost dreamlike solitude.
