The Forest

by Rosita Moerkens

A place I drive by every day for years always wondering when the light would be perfect one day....so one day it was perfect and I got the chance to capture it when I was driving home from my work. I was stunned by it's beauty and still are. So I thank God for giving me that moment and I will treasure it my whole life.
Equipment: Nikon D300

I started photography in September 2005 and followed a photography course in leuven at the eveningschool. It became a part of my live and the only thing I want is to show everyone how our beautiful world looks like. Rosita

That is beautiful. I love pictures where the Sun is shining through the trees.

Your wait was well worth it. The light you captured through the trees make a wonderful picture.

Though the subject is very mature, but, beauty is timeless.

We have seen pictures like this before but this one is particularly good; I love the amber colors.

Rosita … this is a stunning shot … the fact that you drive by it all the time and have been waiting for the light display … :) I can understand that – there are places I pass in the woods regularly where I am waiting just like that – in some places I have been rewarded, some I am still waiting for.
You wanting to show the world how beautiful our world is :) I hear you, I applaud you and cheer you on. I see from your website that you are doing an incredibly fine job of it :)

Wat a wonderful cross-light, I like the texture and the tonality that you have captured!!! Congrats for you.

The uniformity of the trees is amazing; they look to be in a pattern. Lovely shot!

Hello Rosita, My grandparents (now passed on) spent their retirement years in the Santa Cruz, California, USA area. This picture is so, so similar to the scenes I remember going up the road to their home on “Porter Gulch Road”. Those trees were Redwood trees, but the density and the light coming through is the same! I thank you for sharing your talent in photography with us. It’s really breath taking . . .

Excellent light and lines and composition!
