Two little trees on a rocky tower


The Brejlov Hotel once had its own water mill, powered by the rapids of the river. A partly removable dam pushed the water of the river into the construction inside the building and today, some remains of it still remain standing. I have great respect for the masons who built the two towers in mid stream and used a mortar so strong that many years of water turmoil around the bases haven't toppled these towers. Sure, some stones have rolled away from it but that doesn't seem to matter much.

Two little birch trees grow on one of the rock towers. I imagine the shock these trees were in, some time after the seeds had found their little crooks to hide in and grow a sprout, when they grew from their seeds and as they got bigger, unfolded their first leaves, rose above the stones and discovered their position... too late to move now.
