softly into the mist

Taken by Danielle Hughson.

softly into the mist

Another from Dog Mountain, this time with the Hasselblad. What a wonderland that forest was. In looking at the images I have from that hike, I can still feel the peace and deep happiness that comes from journeying through such a place, where the damp quiet muffles any emotion carried over from the rest of the world, where wild things soothe the head and heart. A forest like that will keep your secrets and offer up its own, if you only pause long enough to breathe it in.

Sentiments so very well written Danielle. These special places offer the kind of solitude that is always welcomed and then treasured long after. Good work here!

Falling Thru The Lens

That’s the magic of this photo - that you can still feel that, when you look at it, and that we can feel some of it too!

So lovely, still and quiet. You have brought this home well with this image. It should be a state-mandated requirement that once a month every person is required to go hike a forest like this.

i can’t imagine living near forests like this. it seems like one of those places that takes your breath away, then softly gives it back to you, cleaner and better than before.
