8th exhibition of the Stralsund photo community in the Stralsund City Library: Trees in focus

At first glance, the topic of "trees" may seem unusual in connection with a library. But on closer inspection, it becomes clear that the roots of this connection lie deep in the history of the written word. Originally, the word "letter" referred to a piece of wood, a wooden stick carved with runes. With the development of writing and language, the need for more space grew - and with it the need for more wood. Today, there are numerous books under the roof of the Stralsund City Library, in which countless stories are written down. The valuable raw material for the paper on which these stories are recorded comes from trees, of course.

Trees are fascinating not only because of their material connection to literature, but also because of their mystical aura. They communicate with each other through the wind, adapt to their surroundings and often take on fascinating shapes. While some trees drop their leaves in the fall only to bloom again in full splendor in the spring, evergreen trees remain green all year round and thus seem immortal. They share their lives with other creatures such as fungi and leave behind impressive traces such as annual rings and ornaments, even after their death.

The Stralsund photo community cordially invites you to the Stralsund City Library. Experience the impressive photographs on the subject of "Trees". The exhibition promises an inspiring tour through the beauty and uniqueness of nature. We hope all visitors enjoy looking at the photographs!
