shugborough walk

thoughts in a forest

 

earthed

in a forest

of dead ferns

and mud

branches

drag

the sky

across

the moss-faced

wood

which

blankets

this ancient palace 

 

 

the power of spring

unfurling

dreams and nightmares - no. 84

 a forest

green leaves bid sun-lit dapple

forest bird's call shrill as

new life springs from the morning

dreams and nightmares - no. 8

petrified

 




Dear Sheddists,

the light on our second walk in our favourite Norfolk forest was not not so kind. It was a grey, overcast day.  However, there was still an ethereal quality to the muted greens and muddy browns.

The photo above (in common with the rest in this series) was created by a double exposure.  The leaves were on another tree, but when superimposed on the neighbouring mossy tree trunk they took on a petrified, dream-like appearance.

As with all double-exposure photography the initial attempts were rather trial and error, but I think it was worth persevering.  

Yours as ever,
