the tree of fear : Tikjda

the tree of fear : Tikjda
not far from Tikjda in the mountains in Djurdjura, Algeria...
Nobody around...and that tree ...I wanted to take a photo and got out of the car...Suddenly another car was there coming from nowhere...went past us, stopped in the middle of the small road, and two angry men stepped out...I saw they had huge submachine-guns in their hands...
And fear then was there ...in my whole body..

This misterious scene looks really sinister. Your experience is terrible. Trees of fear must be cut off.

I was just pretty "sure" I was the one who was going to be "cut off"

Beautiful photo, but terrifying experience. Please don't take so many risks. It is not worth it. You make extraordinary images wherever you go, including in safe places.

Christel Ehretsmann club has replied to Armando Taborda club
quite a good question ! :-))
they were soldiers ...and I was not supposed to be taking photos in that area !
because of the past terrorist events there

Cela ressemblerait presque à une histoire de pétrification, comme celle de la femme de Loth qui inspira Rodin ..
Pour un peu tu te serais transformée et figée en arbre Christel ..;-) ..n'est-ce pas ?
Pas une mauvaise plaisanterie tu t'en doutes, mais une allégorie de cette peur paralysante qui a dû être effroyable à vivre ..Cet arbre tordu, amputé, devenu le symbole spectral de l'effroi du moment ..
Une image saisissante ancrée dans ta mémoire, sous ce soleil de plomb..

Christel Ehretsmann club has replied to 'ºLº'
je dirais..que je me suis sentie foudroyée par cette apparition inquiétante...Une onde de feu..
Ton allégorie de la peur est bien trouvée cependant...Je me souviendrai toujours de cet arbre...

Les chinois disent que de tout "négatif" sort un "positif". .. le positif est ta photo qui représente si bien la force ! :-)

et ...aide à la résilience...
j'en suis persuadée aussi, jusqu'à un certain point...la mort de Hervé Gourdel par example...

...You must be a really tough woman to leave your car - in Algeria !
Since I read Yasmina Khadra's books, I feel: it's not the time yet for trips (for Europeans).

I think I'm not that tough !
but rather unconscious ...and eager to live somehow dangerously
