A Hardy-ness by sabresun

A Hardy-ness

As in Thomas Hardy. This type of scene reminds me a little of Tess.

"In those days, and till comparatively recent times, the country was densely wooded. Even now, traces of its earlier condition are to be found in the old oak copses and irregular belts of timber that yet survive on its slopes. The forests have departed, but some old customs of their shades remain. Many, however, linger only in a metamorphosed or disguised form. The May-Day dance, for instance, was to be discerned on the afternoon under notice, in the guise of the club revel, or 'club-walking,' as it was there called." - Tess of the d'Urbervilles.
The misty distance really enhances this scene. It is very nice Matt

I agree. I love fog in pictures and this looks mysterious. Good shot.

Oh, I love it! Yes, I can imagine our hapless heroine attempting to muck through the mishaps of her life in just such a scene! :)

I love this moody scene, give me some gumboots (wellies), scarf and coat and could spend much reflective time just wandering. Nice capture Matt.
