The oak standing in the courtyard at Stockholm City Hall was planted to function as a "warden tree". According to Nordic cultural tradition, "warden trees" serves as a dwelling for friendly protective spirits and grants the farm prosperity. I copied that sentence from the City Hall Facebook site. I took this photo a few days ago as I thought the Autumn colors looked great.
The colours in this shot are beautiful. The oaks haven't changed yet here.
ReplyDeleteThat tree is a true treasure. Love the stance and atmosphere.
