In the Woods
It is in the woods that I often find the glowing light that seems to exert a magical pull on me. I am drawn to the play of light and shadow: bursts of sun through the trees, strong silhouettes of the trunks, leaves etched against the light, deep shadows, dappled sunlight, slanting rays...it all feels very mystical, very mysterious.
