“The earth is art; the photographer is only a witness.”
As one walks through a forest, one usually looks up at the trees. Trees are vertical. We look up, rarely ever do we look down through a forest.
However, as we walked in the New Forest this late November day, the forest was transformed. Only a few colourful leaves clung to the branches of the trees. And what we witnessed was the ‘horizontal’ nature of trees….the delicate horizontal structure of trees.
So, take a moment and just wonder with me.

Walking though this forest was like walking in a Seurat or Klimt painting. Just look at the delicate leaves as they just barely remain on the trees . The next windy or rainy day will tear these leaves off the trees, and autumn will then yield to winter.

Today I understood that trees are also horizontal.
Just wonder. Appreciate the beauty that our forests hold.
