The dark of the Woods by maggiemae

The dark of the Woods

This could be called nature but man has laid a hand on these trees, pruning them to grow straight and true. So not for the nature challenge on FB

Three good things:
1. Met lots of other wonderful vintage cars at a little village called Lawrence. A place of vintage everything but the clothes shop didn't have a paisley shirt for John's '60s costume.
2. Coffee at the Merc Dealers in the city where Sadie got a proper clean.
3. Temperatures were warm enough to sit outside with a book at our destination - an old stone inn with accommodation.
Those trees look very regimental!

So spooky in the gloom of the forest -- super pov ,looking through all those tall dark tree trunks !

I love this, the moodiness and the symmetry. I presume pine forest, they are always slightly spooky as so little lives in them and this captures that feeling.

Lovely shot with the trunks sending the light upward into the dark canopy.

It looks gorgeous on black! Big Fav.

@gijsje ooh, it does too, Bep - thanks!
January 23rd, 2016  
They might be helped a wee bit to keep on the straight & narrow but I really like the neatness of these trees. I wouldn't like to venture any further into that wood though thank you very much!

@happypat Its funny people saying they are nervous, Pat! To me when seen this forest, it made me want to skip into the forest by myself and breath in the pine smell!
January 23rd, 2016  
@maggiemae really Maggimae, it's too date for my liking, not because I'm scared but because I would be frightened of getting lost.

This looks like a scene from a children's story book, very moody and mysterious Maggie.
January 23rd, 2016  
Thanks for following my project. Have fun nice weekend :-)
January 23rd, 2016  
@yeshanghai Thanks! It might rain but its warm!
January 23rd, 2016  
@happypat All you have to do, Pat is remember to take breadcrumbs - or chalk to mark the trees?
January 23rd, 2016  
I was thinking along the lines of @jackie8 ! It could be a lovely illustration for a story book~ I really like the way you chose to process it!

Already fav'd (in the car coming back from my Mother in Laws birthday) but just wanted to add this is a super image. I like the dark, mysterious feel.
January 23rd, 2016  
Very atmospheric! Great image!

This has lots of atmosphere - it would work well in B&W I think. Paisley shirts! I remember one that I had in 1962, pale blue with a 2.5 inch stand tabbed collar that nearly strangled me! Good luck with the search.

FAV.

Wonderful tones and mysterious feel. Lovely, how the trees are so regimental and orderly, even if by the forceful hand of man. ;)

I know we need to grow wood but I dislike these kind of forests as they are devoid of wildlife and other plants. Still, a good shot
January 24th, 2016
