The photo shows two large hornbeams with intertwined roots in a dark forest. The trees grow on a mountainside that cuts the frame in half, from the lower left to the upper right corner. The tree trunks are bent and the roots are tightly intertwined. The roots of the tree on the right are covered with moss. The mountainside is covered with dry brown leaves. Under the root of the left tree, there is a small burrow with traces of fresh soil thrown out by its inhabitant. In the background, behind the hill, a wall of dark green forest.
