This video features trees taken with an iPhone or handheld camera during the Covid-19 pandemic. The videos and photos were taken in the Japanese city of Tokyo, and other places near Tokyo. I captured the interplay between the man-made and the natural. I hope my feeling that "The trees are calling" will be conveyed to you.
