Koks ir skaists ...

The beauty of a tree ...

- adaptive translation of I. Ziedonis <<Kurzemīte>> -

The beauty of a tree lies not in its sameness with others, but in its individuality. I'm looking for unique trees. I believe they have their own world - rich and intricate like the mazes and knots patterned in the branches...
... Tell me, is there a collector who is recording Nature's beauty as it is today, before we lose them to the technologies of tomorrow?   We have collections of our folk songs so we may have them forever. Is not our landscape and nature which surrounds us also not part of our cultural spirit and heritage which should not be forgotten?
