Umeå
is called
Björkarnas stad/
The City of Birch trees
The background of the city nickname goes back to 1888, when the town almost burned down completely. After rebuilding the town broad streets were built and birch trees planted on each side of them.
The trees would protect a possible new fire from jumping over from one house to another etc.
I love these trees and the remarcable artistic view available looking at them in different ways
I invite you all looking at the bark from some of them, use your fantasy, step into yourself find your inner paintings externalised by viewing the trees using your eyes and imagination
Relax
Enjoy
Each of them are original nature art
no prize available
And totally free looking at!
