Sun Through Tree Canopy at Burcht Leiden

29 April 2025 · Leiden walk towards, in and around Burcht

A large deciduous tree photographed from directly below, the trunk dividing the frame while branches fan outward into a dense leaf canopy. The sun punches through the foliage on the left, collapsing into a hard starburst against the backlit green mass. Summer light at Burcht Leiden does two things at once — it floods the canopy with warmth and throws the branching structure into sharp silhouette, making the tree's geometry as legible as any built thing.
