'Come with me to a quiet place and rest a while.' Mark 6:31
It's true that there is a special kind of peace and healing that comes from walking alone in woodland. The Scargill estate has many meandering paths and I relished my time there, drinking in all that peacefulness and the fresh green of abundant life: sturdy tree trunks interspersed with young saplings and graceful ferns.
I've processed this image a little differently from my usual style to try and draw out that sense of calm.
There's a theory that all our favourite places are either sanctuaries or lookouts, where we can either hide away or have a view of what's coming - it's surprising how many photos adhere to this rule.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely photo and I like the softness that you've achieved.
ReplyDeleteI feel calm just looking at this scene.
ReplyDeleteI agree wholeheartedly about walking in the forest alone and drinking in the calmness and quietness. I like your quote too. I found this one too: "And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul." I don't know who coined it.
