The Enchanted Wood ...

The Enchanted Wood ...

An unbelievable walk in the wildest part of mid Wales, down in the depths of a remote valley, with the sound of a distant waterfall and the rasping call of a crow, I came through a tunnel of intertwining trees, until eventually emerging out, onto this path, where I noticed those eyes looking straight at me, do you see them ?

    I absolutely love this, it’s just not of this Earth really and that’s what I love about it the most because it’s the very reason I create unreal scenery, so I can retreat into my own fantasy world and be in a place that is safe and surreal at the same time… ;-)
