Lubeck trees in real life

Normally; first there is my painting ... and then Mother Earth imitates me with a pale shadow of my natural treasures.
That's how it happens all the time! Being a painter is a case of self-confidence, isn't it?

Somewhere in Spain, Mother Nature has been ahead of me.
I created the painting named 'September' a long time ago, in the year 2001.
But ... last year I saw some amazing pictures of a couple of trees in Madrid. I discovered them on the site of Flora Wigleven.
I couldn't deny that these trees must have started their lives long, long before (!) the canvas of September was even woven ...

Aren't they beautiful? Maybe a re-decoration of the earth has already started.
