[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The inhabitans of this Belarusian village Dvorec (Dvorec in Russian means palace) - mainly old women - sat on a big log and had an endless talk. They told me that at the end of 19th century the owner of this land planted twelve exotic trees around his big house. On the day of his 100th anniversary they withered simultaneously. Today indeed 12 huge dried giants raise above the village. Niether the dead trees, nor the remains of the owner's house can be used by locals as firewood because they got petrified and can't be cut with an axe.

Hi

Nice picture which is well composed with the women going up and down in height, makes it interesting. I love the facial expressions you have captured, especially with the only one that looks half happy, I feel this adds more interest to the photo and I like the border you have used.

Lovely portrait of the local ladies. I like the aged appearance of the frame. Well done.

Hello Aleksei,
A classic photo of the elderly ladies. Faces that could tell a thousand stories. Rich colours, excellent composition. A wonderful photo. AAA+++ Janice

Hi Aleksei,

Hello Aleksei,
this is a wonderful portrait of these old ladies. They are full of character. I will save to my favorites. I always enjoy people pictures. Oh, and I enjoyed your not, very interesting. Is it true about the petrification ?..how strange!

Hi Aleksei
well done!

Дзякуй за тое што не забываецеся на нашу вёску, бо яна яшчэ трывае з-за такiх людзей як вы!
