The image shows a large, splendid tree standing in a green field, filmed on a summer’s day. The leaves move in the wind and the sun’s rays glide over the tree. After a moment of contemplation it seems to the viewer as if the tree is performing a kind of theatrical dance that contrasts moments of sunshine and shade.
