First. Wood as a living material. I think the quality of the picture as well a the choice of the subject illustrate almost perfectly the theme.

Second. This picture shows well what a wooden building becomes when transformed by time passing.

Third. In my opinion this picture shows an interesting patern. The upper knot is a bit distracting, though.

Interesting picture, but it illustrates more text than wood.

Would gain intensity if the colors where more saturated. Could show contrast between wood and iron (the nail.

In my experience, it's very difficult to show the greatness of trees.

Nice wood patern. In not sure it's the best point of view to show it.
