I’m not one for using filters all the time but I’m also not apposed to them either. A compilation of the arboretum photos, some re-edited but all using Color Efex Pro 4 to finish the look and feel. While maybe not realistic, to me this is how it felt.

These
are the tree graves of Tana Toraja — a remote part of the
mountainous region of South Sulawesi, Indonesia — where dead babies are ‘buried’ inside
the trunks of living plants so they can be ‘absorbed’ by nature. Villagers hollow out holes in huge tree trunks before wrapping the deceased child in cloth and then placing the infant inside. The
hole is then sealed over with palm fibre and, as the tree heals over
time, the body is believed to be absorbed. Dozens of babies are interred
in each tree.Only
children who die before they have started teething are buried in this
way with locals believing the wind then takes away their souls.
