Description
"Old Tjikko" is a 9,500 year old Norwegian Spruce discovered in Sweden, my country of heritage, in 2004, by Professor Leif Kullman and named after his Siberian husky. This image was created for the Fall or Autumn Minimalism Contest (11/2021). (cited BoredPanda 2016) Note: Lines are for effect.
Artist Note - "I discovered this fascinating image of a a tree amongst all the other images of trees full of foliage. There was something noble and regal about it, but also ancient and frail, simply beautiful. Here, singled out in Sweden, is a tree that has withstood the force of time - what stories it could tell. There is something to be said for those things around us that remain. Yes old, but majestic and elegant - worthy of our respect and adoration. Being 49.9% Swedish, it was special to find a story from the "motherland" and use it for this contest."
