Well, considering how large the trunks are, they must have been standing next to each other for a very long time, so I'd say that I hope they are. They all look pretty healthy, so I'd say they have a happy codependencey going on here!!
"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso
I was gonna say those trees look like good friends and then I read the caption you wrote....haha! Well still, they do indeed look like ancient buddies! Imagine the stories they tell...
I love pictures of trees and nature and the colors in this picture are great. with the shadow on the trunks giving them an intense color of age while the bright green gives the pic a sense of free will and liveliness these good friends have in their joyfull relationship, i trully feel good looking at this pic. :O)
