The Dark Forest Paths
NCAR11D-254
October 23, 2011
Wandering through the forests of the Birkhead Wilderness, part of Uwharrie National Forest in North Carolina. These deciduous trees were crouched overhead, menacing in a way, as they tried to block the way through the forest. Even the sun, slipping behind a cloud, lent a dark, ominous feeling to the trek. I felt that this image, with the heavy shadows in the foreground, and slightly dingy, dun colors, accurately represented this trepidation. Enjoy.
