I think the axeman needs to do a bit of thinning here (but what do I know!).

so impressive. I loved it. Thank you, love, nia
🙂
Nice shot, reminds me of this one http://www.vasterasbilder.se/2012/10/31/linjer-2/ (which I took)
🙂 – thank you.
In turn, your elegant shot reminds me of this one https://stephenhip.wordpress.com/2012/06/29/in-the-wood/
(which I took).
My goodness, that looks like a bad place for claustrophobes.
Indeed!
Agreed. It could use a good thinning. 🙂
Big a nice job for a retired gentleman to while away his afternoons.
Superb picture Stephen – I wouldn’t like to be lost in these woods – at night!
Thanks!
Photography is the art of deception – the trees are about 20 yards from the road that takes you to Thruscross Reservoir, which I suspect you know quite well!
A low sun raking through the trees makes all the difference. 😉
Ha! I wondered where they were…but they do look spooky! well taken my friend
You have created a stunning eerie mood here, love it!
I sure wouldn’t like to get lost here in the dark…..
🙂 – character building for sure.
I’ll send my son…he’s an axeman….or timber faller, as he calls it…
It occurs to me that an axeman might not be the best solution to thin them – the trees are so close together he’d never have enough room to swing his axe!
That’s where a small chain saw comes in handy…figures..Mom’s a nature lover and wildlife photographer…son is an axeman.

Dense trees make for a great repeating pattern shot, and the light/shadows in this are fantastic.
Light and shadows, the key to many effective pictures – to be honest, I search out the light in preference to a more obvious subject that has flat lighting.
