From Eastern myths and the story of the \"Assyrian Tree\" to its major role in both earthly and eternal life in Abrahamic religions, trees have long held a special place in a wide range of beliefs and cultures. The value of trees has not diminished throughout time. In terms of the environment, trees and forests are the Earth's lifeblood, giving us pure air to breathe and sustaining life. The beauty and striking visual impact of trees, whether they are lone trees or part of a dense forest, have always attracted the attention of artists in the world of art, from petroglyphs to numerous modern art styles like Impressionism and Romanticism. Through their innovative and distinctive viewpoints, photographers have the chance to investigate and highlight the different facets and importance of trees in today's society. We are reminded that trees are not only silent beings but also silent witnesses to our history and culture by the stories that each picture may convey about the development, resiliency, and everlasting beauty of trees.\u003c\/p\u003eSummer 2024 Edition\u003cp\u003eIn this call for submissions, 161 photographs from 72 artists were received and carefully evaluated by the editorial board.
