WC#164 - Dancing in the Mist

This scene of valley oaks, Douglas Fir, nestled in among the Spruce and all covered in moss in a foggy atmosphere stopped me dead in my tracks. It was as if they were dancing and came to a sudden stand still when I came upon them so that we would not know what trees really do when we are not looking.

The soft muted tones and lighting is fantastic. I love your composition. The softness keeps the scene from being too busy. Thanks for sharing.

Been in a place like that. Recently. Didn't see the picture. Gotta keep my eyes open better.

I wish this was in MY portfolio. COOL!!!
