Back to the Forest

With May getting everything going I wanted to get back to the New Forest to capture those fresh greens. I returned to the area I found last September to see how it is in Spring. Quite nice ;)

The scene I shot last Autumn (see here) was not inspiring me but close by is this bridge. I had not got a shot last year so was pleased with this.

The fresh beech creates a really green hue / cast to the whole understory. It can be a bit much but I do like what it represents in terms of Spring-Summer.

Another scene that I had failed to do justice to last year was that with the pair of Giant Sequoias at Rhinefeld. I was much happier with this version which I think shows their dominance of scale amongst their companions.

I rarely go to the forest without taking a few shots of the horses. They were out in force this time. So here’s one to finish on...
