Description
The primeval forest Sababurg contains very old trees. This time you can see a simple capture of an old oak with a hole in it. I ask my brother Bert to take place in it, showing the size of this tree. So he enters this tree and he poses for me with a pipe in his mouth, while I shoot this picture.
Old trees make me think of wisdom. Centuries have passed by while this tree grew old. Wisdom can grow when people grow older, but it's not the aging process that automatically results in wisdom. What ingredients would be necessary to increase wisdom?

nice wooden animal. Never knew they alos wore glasses. The tree is fantastically symmetrical.

Nice to see Bert acting like that, although he has got his wisdom-teeth, does he not? This ol'feller [of a tree] looks also very immobile. And I do not think that immobility is an ingredient for wisdom: but what is? Have a good day, J.C.!

Very cool! Luckily no forest creatures were living there to defend against the human invaders :) I once heard that wisdom comes from experience, and experience is what you get when you don't have enough wisdom.

What an incredible old Oak this is - I adore the formation of many of the ancient trunks and root systems! Excellent shot - fany smoking inside a wooden framework! lol!

Five crucial aspects of wisdom come to mind (education; experience; retention; application; and discretion). In other words, one must learn until they finally know, they must remember that which they've experienced and learned, they must apply that knowledge consistently, and they must act with self-discipline, in an exemplary manner! I digress, my apologies, but you did pose the question. About your photo; WOW, that is a mighty oak indeed! I'm sure glad you and Bert had the foresight to provide a sense of scale with this magnificent oak and capture. Excellent work Jan (and Bert)! Have an awesome day guys!

Wow wow wow! I'm a little surprised that over the eons that somebody like Zacko hasn't chopped this down? Didn't think there was many old growth trees still around anywhere in Europe. :B eaver !
Dynazty
haha! Awesome shot, what a cool looking tree...=]

I believe it boils down to experience tempered with insight, and sometimes insight alone shines through as wisdom. This much I know: some are inherently more wise than others, displaying it even from childhood. Enough about that, this is a marvelous picture! What a beautiful old tree! Great catch, Jan!
Denger
You've captured one of the Heinzelmnchen (brownies)! Who knew that they still live in the forest along the banks of the Weser? Did he grant you a wish, or put a charm on you? You must have found his favor, as he allowed you to photograph him. Fantastic, imaginative composition!
SoulSearcherr
wow..awesome tree

this reminds me of the tree I posted the other day except this tree is more than twice as large. having your brother get in there was a smashing idea. good no squirrels bit him
