Paimpont 2018: Day 175 - The Enchanted Forest

La Forêt de Brocéliande (of which Paimpont Forest forms part) is replete with myths and legends: from the fairies Viviane and Morgane to Merlin l'Enchanteur; from King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table to the Korrigans (think mischievous pixies) who live deep in the forest, to mention just a few.

This scene seemed to illustrate all that perfectly so I processed it accordingly... sorry, it's another BoB image!

Superb on black, fitting for all the stories as well...if they are stories of course ;)

Wonderful low pov and eerie processing

[Walks @ 7]

I'm expecting those roots to awaken and go for a walk-about or provide a guiding hand to some fairies. Adore this! Fav.

[gloria jones]

Super low perspective to see the tree roots and lush greenery in the background

[CC Folk]

The roots of the trees look like hands with long black fingers...spooky and enchanted at the same time. A magical capture and fav.
