"This elegant line of trees appeared right before me as my Hokkaido guide and I were driving around the Furano area looking for interesting locations. We turned a corner and there they were on the hillside. They were an astonishing sight. The photograph itself was made with a 250m telephoto lens and a straightforward exposure of a fraction of a second. I strongly suspect, but don't know for a fact, that the trees have since been cut down as I never seen them again despite many return travels to this region. In the darkroom I have to manipulate the printing a great amount in order to balance the foreground with the background, and maintain an even progression in the tree line from grey to black. This is a difficult print to make. The first print was made in 2005 and the edition of 45 sold out in 2012. The print is in the permanent collection of the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, Paris, France." Michael Kenna 2019
