The Burden
Like an arboreal Atlas, this holm oak seems to bear the burdens of the world and the heavens on its shoulders. This photograph is part of my series on the Portuguese “montados”, or Mediterranean oak forests. What is fascinating about the trees of the Portuguese “montados” (Mediterranean oak forests) is that each one seems to have a very distinctive personality. Each is an easily recognizable individual.
