Back In Time
Walking through the forest, I’m generally not seeking anything in particular, simply observing and reacting. Following light, shape, texture, darkness. Sometimes an image results, most often not. I liked the symphony here of all that the forest can provide. It’s a complex, yet simple place where time seems to stand still.
