A Road Less Traveled

I had to take a turn off into the woods of Northern Estonia, where nobody would see me, to change into a suit before dinner.

And then the sunset panned through the trees flickering and splashing across the forest floor in slow motion

This photo remindes me of Paul Cezanne's Chestnut Trees at Jas de Bouffan, 1885-86. You can see the real thing in the Minneapolis Museum or travel to that secluded place in Estonia.

purple trees... magical!

i'm quite amazed by the lack of undergrowth... i guess this is a temperate forest, and the competition for sunlight is clearly won by the trees racing straight up to the energy source.
