I like this picture. Personally, it is the colors black and white which create the melancholy for me, but there is also this serenity and feeling of protection emanating from the trees here :)

Thanks!
Yep, monochrome does sometimes convey emotion much more efficiently than colour. I wonder why that is. Maybe it's because it's lacking some information, and the viewer must force themselves to fill the blanks.
I love these trees. (Terijoensalava, Salix fragilis 'Bullata')
They are very common in Finland, all around river banks and lakes. It's a bit unclear where they were brought from as it isn't a native tree.
Thanks for the name! I love everything related to plants, and trees. As you say, the emotion is being conveyed very strongly, and the trees appear very present. They are in the NOW, without attachment to past and future, thus this strong serenity which so many Humans lack ;)
Great picture!
