Isithombe: I-Columnar European Beech Trees

Kulo mhlaba ohlanganiswe ngokucophelela, izihlahla ezintathu ze-Columnar European Beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Fastigiata') ziphakama ngokuma okumangalisayo, amasilhouette azo amade, amancane anikeza indawo yesehlakalo umuzwa wokuhleleka nobuhle. Ngokungafani nezihlobo zawo ezinompheme obanzi, la mabhishi adlulisela amandla awo phezulu, akhe amakholomu aminyene, anjenge-spire amaqabunga aluhlaza acwebezelayo ayala ukunakwa ngendlela yawo yokwakha. Njengoba zitshalwe ngokulinganayo otshanini obuluhlaza, owenziwe ngobunono, zibonakala zifana nezithombe eziphilayo, isiqu ngasinye simile siqondile futhi sibushelelezi, sigqokiswe isici segxolo esisasiliva-grey salolu hlobo. Ukufana nokulingana kwazo kuveza kokubili ubuhle bemvelo kanye nomklamo wamabomu, okuguqula lesi sigaba sengadi sibe yindawo ezwakala ihlelekile, icwengisisiwe, futhi ihlala njalo.

Umuthi ominyene wesihlahla ngasinye ugcwele amaqabunga agqamile, izindawo zawo ezicwebezelayo ziyabamba futhi zibonise ukukhanya emathoni ashintshayo oluhlaza. Lokhu kudala indawo eyenziwe ngendlela ethambisa i-geometry eqinile yokuma kwazo, iqinisekise ukuthi nakuba izihlahla zihlala zihlelekile, ziphinde zikhiphe ubungqabavu nokunotha. Uma zibonwa ndawonye, amakholomu amathathu akha ukulandelana okunesigqi, cishe njengodwendwe lwabalindi abamile iwashi emaphethelweni otshani. Ukubekwa kwazo kusikisela kokubili ukucatshangelwa okusebenzayo nobuhle, njengoba zenza isithombe sibheke endleleni engadini egobile kancane ezungeza ngemuva kwehlathi. Ukugoba okuthambile kwendlela kuphambene nokuqinile kwezihlahla, kulinganisa indawo nomuzwa wokugeleza nokunyakaza.

Ngemuva kwawo, ukujula okuluhlaza kwehlathi elizungezile kuthuthukisa umphumela wawo, kusebenza njengengemuva eligqamisa imigqa ebukhali yama-beeches' kanye namahlamvu agqamile. Lokhu kuhlobana phakathi kwezihlahla ezingemuva kanye ne-focal kukhulisa ubukhona bazo, kufana nokuthi amathoni ahlukene omdwebo adonsela iso esihlokweni sawo. Umphumela uba indawo ezizwa ikhethwe ngokucophelela futhi ingokwemvelo ngokuvumelana, lapho ubukhona obuhlelekile bezihlahla ezitshalwayo buhlangana nobundle bonqenqema lwehlathi.

Lawa ma-Columnar European Beeches akhombisa ukuthi kungani uhlobo lwe-'Fastigiata' lwaziswa kangaka abalimi nabadwebi bendawo. Ifomu lazo elisebenza kahle endaweni lizenza zilungele izingadi lapho igumbi elivundlile lilinganiselwe kodwa umthelela oqondile ufiswa. Angasetshenziselwa umugqa wezindlela, aphawule imingcele, noma asebenze njengendawo okugxilwe kuyo otshanini obuncane, anikeze umuzwa ongapheli wobuhle ngaphandle kokumboza indawo ebazungezile. Ngisho nanjengezibonelo ezilodwa, zengeza idrama nobuhle, kodwa zitshalwe ngeqembu—njengalesi sithombe—zifinyelela ubukhona obuphakeme bezakhiwo, okusikhumbuza amakholomu asekela i-cathedral engaphandle engabonakali.

Kuzo zonke izinkathi zonyaka, isicelo sabo sihlala singashintshi. Entwasahlobo nasehlobo, i-canopy eminyene igcwele ubungqabavu obuluhlaza obucebile. Woza ekwindla, amaqabunga ashintshela ekubeni yithusi elisagolide, andisa ukubonakala kwawo ngaphambi kokukhukhuleka kancane phansi ukuze akhe ukhaphethi wamathoni afudumele. Ebusika, uma ungenalutho, iziqu ezibushelelezi kanye nohlaka lwamathambo aqondile agcina isithunzi esicolekile, okuqinisekisa inzalo yonyaka wonke. Ukuvumelana kwazo nezimo ezihlukene zedizayini, kuhambisana nesimo sazo esihle, kuzenza zibe enye yezinketho ezinhle kakhulu zabalimi abafuna ubuhle, ukuhlala unomphela, kanye nesakhiwo ngaphakathi kwezikhala ezilinganiselwe.

Lesi sigcawu asithathi kuphela ukukhanga okubonakalayo kwe-Columnar Beeches kodwa nokuba khona kwawo okungokomfanekiso okukhulu. Zihlanganisa amandla nobuhle, zisebenza njengezibabazo eziqondile ngaphakathi kwekhanvasi ebanzi yokwakheka kwezwe. Umkhuba wazo wokukhula ohlelekile, kanye nokuthandeka kwemvelo kwamahlamvu awo, uqinisekisa ukuthi zihlala zingesinye sezihlahla eziguquguqukayo nezizuzisa kakhulu kuzo zombili izimo ezihlelekile nezingakahleleki, okunothisa noma iyiphi ingadi ngokukhanga kwazo okungapheli.
