I really enjoy this as you have combined so many elements here. You have your traditionaltree/forest shot, your foggy trees shot, your path/road shot, and your black and white artsy shot. Put them together and you have an amazing path in the foggy woods that has black and white qualities with hints of color. Well done - and thanks too for sharing the larger sizes!

Sometimes I post stuff that I really like, but don't expect many other people will get. Sometimes I'm really pleasantly surprised :) Thanks all..

Mikey Mike: I carried on, but I sent the dog on ahead as a scout ;)

Change-man: I always thought the "path in the foggy woods that has black and white qualities with hints of color" was an under-explored genre...

I'm looking forward to see it as a big print.

I have stood at the edge of existence, where dirt roads enter misty forests, whose dark sentinel pines protect God’s secrets; their roots anchored forever in silence.
