Woodland Walking Trail

Beautiful, I love the silence that snow covered land seem to hold, even driving through seems quieter.

So pretty Joanne,lovely persepctive,l feel like taking a walk !!

Sounds wonderful – rather keen on the hot chocolate at the end, too! These trees only have a little ‘dusting of icing sugar’.

wow! what a beautiful street and shot!

You are so zen Joanne! I love the way you share your nature experiences with the rest of us.

This is IMPRESSIVE, well done..

Beautiful photo, and the accompanying narrative is wonderful, as it is with all your photos. But, for me, I can’t look at a shot like this without recalling a few lines from a novel which impressed themselves upon me at an early age, and which resonate with me still. I share them because they use the metaphor of “The Forest Aisle” to convey quite a different mood, a different attitude towards life than does your work, which seems to me very much more optimistic. more ‘connected’ to others:

”....he saw his life down the solemn vista of a forest aisle, and he knew he would always be the sad one: caged in that little round of skull, imprisoned in that beating and most secret heart, his life must always walk down lonely passages. Lost. He understood that men were forever strangers to one another, that no one ever comes really to know any one, that imprisoned in the dark womb of our mother, we come to life without having seen her face, that we are given to her arms a stranger, and that, caught in that insoluble prison of being, we escape it never, no matter what arms may clasp us, what mouth may kiss us, what heart may warm us. Never, never, never, never, never.”

Thomas Wolfe, Look Homeward, Angel

Again, I reference this because your image permits both views, as art at its very best contemplates an interaction between the piece and the observer, with the sense of the work at times largely a reflection of the individuals mood or sensibilities at the time. Here, one can see the forest aisle as a metaphor for a sheltering place, one which leads somewhere – to a campfire, a place of communion; or one can see it as a vehicle to express profound lonliness.

Truly a beautiful photo.

This looks so peaceful. I wish I could be there right now. :D

wonderful winter scene Joanne and again your commentary is beautiful!!!

Lovely picture! Please check out some of my work!

Amazing view to walk through, Joanne.

The path leading to infinity!! .... The depth of this image is amazing.

Very beautiful photo, Joanne

This looks so inviting, Joanne. I don’t want to see winter end, in a way. Love the converging lines and the tree branches arching over the trail. Beautiful work.

Great Capture!!!
