Windswept Trees of the World |
| |
 The
work of IK has taken us and our colleagues to many unlikely places
around the world - and wherever we have been we have come across similar
trees, alone, windswept, proud and stately silhouettes on the horizon
- the IK logo.
We are certain that there are windswept trees in almost every corner
of our beautiful planet - perhaps you know of one?
We are launching a new feature - Windswept trees of the world - to
give you the chance to share your proud and windswept tree with a
wider audience.
Just send us a photo of your tree, you can send it by e-mail or regular
mail - see instructions below.
Every month we will publish what we believe is the best contribution
so all our readers can enjoy the lonely windswept trees of the world.
This is not a competition and we offer no compensation for your picture
other than the exciting and beautiful experience of seeing windswept
trees of the world!
 Each
submission should be accompanied by your name and where you live.
You should also tell us where you took your picture and a short explanation.
IK retains the right to edit your text.
The world looks forward to seeing your tree (sorry! photos)!

This tree was at about 1050 metres above sea level, and is one of a handful of a relict population at the top of this isolated peak. Photo: Dr Drew Gardner, Zayed University, Abu Dhabi. |

The IK logo is a stately, windswept pine tree, a powerful symbol that
demonstrates how almost anything can be achieved providing we work
with quality and have patience. Within IK it is this collective and
long-term thinking that we value most. Whether it is a book or a film,
an exhibition or an IK brochure, our logo always crowns our work.
Our logo has been our banner since IK was formed on 1 January 1988.
It was designed around a photograph of a lone and windswept pine on
the South Baltic coast - the tree has stood there for over 150 years.
