Description

I'll try something different for now. I'll not simply upload my newest pictures, I'll tell a little story within the next few deviations, starting with this one! :)


Follow me into the dark woods and discover unnamed fear and indescribable treasure. Grab your gear and get ready for this journey! The dead leaves rustle under our feet and the wind whispers in the trees. The path, were going is thousands of years old, maybe created by something, thats older than humanity. Wait ... what was that noise? It seems, we're not alone ... We cross this enlighted glade and suddenly the birds stop singing. There is absolute silence around us. Even the wind stoped and we feel something dark lurking in the woods, watching every step we make. Within the blink of an eye, this moment is over and everything seems normal. But there is still the feeling, that something is watchin us. We advance slowly and as quiet as possible. The glade lies behind us and we see the sun shimmering throug the trees. There is something behind the next group of trees. We cross them and discover ...

I love your story on this piece. Firstly it is a beautiful picture. You have captured sunlight and shadow magnificently, given the picture a focal point and allowed us dream beauty and darkness. You seem to know and understand the woodlands, for you describe in your accompanying explanation, many sensitivities about being alone in the woods. Yes, there are older things, the trees themselves, they grow and learn their world quietly and the trees and forest floor hold many memories. In this beautiful picture you allow us feel free and bright, but show us the darker side that we must know and encounter. Picture and writing are a wonderful combination. You see, feel and dream while looking. As all good photographs, this beautiful work allows the viewer to dream, wish, fear, feel and many other emotions. Well done, magnificent.
