The image displays a close-up view of the lower section of a large, mature tree with prominent, complex root structures located in Kassel, Germany. Multiple thick, light greyish-brown trunks and buttress roots are dominant, exhibiting a textured bark surface with vertical striations and some areas of darker discoloration. These roots are densely intertwined, with several appearing to fuse and form interconnected channels and hollows. A slender vine with dark green, broad, somewhat heart-shaped leaves is visible ascending vertically along one of the central tree trunks. To the left of the tree, a weathered stone wall, constructed from irregular grey-brown stones, is partially visible, with the tree's roots growing against and seemingly into its structure. Small clusters of lighter green ferns and other foliage are present in the crevices between the roots and the stone wall, and within the root system itself. The ground beneath the roots is dark, appearing as soil or leaf litter. The scene is illuminated by diffused light, with no distinct shadows present. No people are depicted.
