Forest Bathing

Some of the photographs shortlisted for this year's Earth Photo competition are being exhibited in the woods we walked in today.

Some fun entries, like this of swimmers in Perranporth, some quite shocking images of pollution and ecological damage across the globe and stunning nature images

More information here as it might be coming to a forest near to you?

(One is right up Northy's street - full of shopping trollies)

For a moment I thought that you had been wild swimming.

[Junko Y]

The term Forest Bathing is so Japanese to me I looked with curiosity to see what you had seen here -- quite surprising to see such an exhibit in nature!

@jyokota I love the idea of shinrin-yoku Junko, but we had grandsons with us so no sitting enjoying the trees

@wakelys I don't do tame swimming, never mind wild!!!

@northy if you have time look on the link for the shopping trolley one!!!

Sounds like a great exhibition

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

Great exhibit, and what a great idea to feature in outdoors!

[Dawn]

What a cool way to display them

[katy]

This would be a very fascinating exhibit! How do they protect against the weather though?

[LManning (Laura)]

What a cool idea! You’ve captured it beautifully.

[Taffy]

What fun!

[JackieR]

@taffy very interesting and informative
@ljmanning thank you

[katy]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond So clever!

[Boxplayer]

Excellent setting for it.

[Kathy A]

That would sure make for an interesting walk

[Kathy]

While I'm not sure that technically, the first image depicts the meaning of forest bathing, I like the idea of the photography exhibit in the forest. Would make a walk more interesting for me.
