Description

Yesterday a friend and I took a most amazing walk. We went into the Headwaters Forest**, an old growth redwood preserve. It was the source of a long, emotional battle for preservation. The trees were saved and these grand old giants will be around for years to come. As we walked, I was struck by the total silence, the spiritual feel, the light. It's like no other place on earth. Oh yeah, we walked about 9 miles, and yep, I wore my flip flops!! **click here

There is a spot on hwy 20 where my daughter and I always stop when we travel that way that has this same majestic feeling. I don't know if the lighting can compare though. This is really a beautiful shot.

The title brings to mind the novel, "The Light In the Forest," by Conrad Richter, a well-known American writer who lived only 6 miles from my hometown here in PA. Beautiful capture, Marilyn.

Awesome! Thanks for the link, it made interesting reading, so glad they managed to get a preservation order on the trees. Two thousand year old trees should be left in peace, they were there before man. Excellent capture Marilyn, the lighting is magical. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
