I was a gift from Márton Lőrincz*. He planted me infront of Petőfi elementary school 70 years ago, March 1937 to be exact. People here have treated me well, see- I've grown and grown! Today I have a visitor, I think I've seen him on his first day at the school . I overheard him telling his friend (Kris) that he still remembers the wonderful days he spent with his friends around me. Of course, that made my day :)*Márton Lőrincz = 1936's Olympic champion for Hungary's Light weight wrestling.
He had originally wanted to plant this tree at his birth place, Translyvania but couldn't. and I couldn't find the reason why it was finally decided to place the tree in szentes.

I like old trees. We have an oak tree in front of our house that was planted when our house was built more than ten years ago. It kinda tells the story of our family.
Oaks are long lived. I like them. They provide food and shelter for animals. I have one outside my office window.
Thank you for stopping and commenting on my hawk in motion.
You are breaking my my heart with this beautiful photograph.
That is one huge impressive tree! Well-composed shot!
Love the coloring -- suits the mood of the photo.
Intersting post - I'm looking forward to how the series develops. Trees such as this should make us humble. I hate it when I see an old tree cut down.
sweet shot ...
love the photo treatment!
no oak trees here, though ... :)
What a wonderful post you have here!
Well, you don't look a day over 30.
Kris, this is a great composition and the way you tell the story is meaningful. Very nice post.
james,
LOL! i'll tell it that!
Thank you all for your visits :)
Lovely photo and even better story ... I don't remember the source (maybe in a movie) however I remember a comment that defined beauty as a tree ... the only thing better than a tree is a tree with personal memories.
Denton,
indeed! if only all trees can tell their stories :)
and thanks for your visit!
wonderful post! :)
