From a walk in the Sachsenwald (literally "Saxonwood") near Hamburg.

Now you're talking: that is a landscape with nudes!

See? It's easy.

Honestly: Photographing trees appears to me like photographing nudes - they're sexier than some nudes I've seen ...

And when you catch them paddling a canoe, like here, you can feel pretty good about them!

NO! I refuse to get myself banned. Especially courtesy the second, acrobatic one.

The second two are a couple.
Guess who's husband and who's wife ...

Number three works best for me, but the patches of white sky bother me. I would have gone in tighter on the trees and eliminated the sky altogether.

An intriguing photograph. But the lighted foreground diminishes the visual impact of the central tree. Maybe not. I can't decide.

LOL - what did you smoke, Rob? Rose leaves? Stinging nettles?
No - No more nudes now - after all I don't have model releases ... shhhh!

Christoph,

A fascinating set of images. I'm glad they got past the LuLa censor.

Fascinating how you can create "nudes" where I would have seen "just trees"...

Its all Robs fault!

But seriously: During that exact walk, where I took these images I thought about the parallel between nudes and trees.
Probably its the mix between round forms, texture and the style of the lighting which creates this impression.
Also - trees stand very calm and have something I'd call "iconic" - something you can see in certain good nude photographs.

Other than very positive, I don't know what category to put my gaping response to IMG_1124 in.

When you combine "sex" and "wood".. no wonder the next thing everyone imagines are... nudes ;D

Oh, wait, it was A not E... never mind.

P.S. For non-native English speakers, google "wood" as an urban slang ;)
