    It looks enchanted Jan! I was just about to ask if there were any hobbits around when I read it was a Lord of the Rings location.

  • Jan Fijolek replied

    Thank you Georgie, the place looks and has that mystery feel about it, but apart from some strange, unexplained noise and whisper I couldn’t see anything ;)))

    Love the lush rich density of the color and foliage! Truly a magical feeling and I thought of Lord of the Rings as well upon first viewing!

    This I have to add to my favorites as it reminds me of the woods I use to hike in when I was a kid in rural Connecticut Valley, wood now overrun by developers! It’s interesting to think how some old tree will fall or shed a big old branch which will open up just enough for a small grassy or fern clearing and thank the elder with a spot of moss, wonderful shot.

  • Jan Fijolek replied

    This one is one of my favourites, NZ forests are amazing. They remind me some of the forests of my early years in Europe ;), thank you for nice comment and a fav ;)
