Ghosts and Empties

As I was crawling through low-hanging branches and lying in a thick carpet of pine needles to get this shot, I heard a cyclist go past on one of the forest roads playing music from their phone. I only heard a couple of seconds, but recognised it as one of my favourite songs - Graceland by Paul Simon. It seemed so out of place to hear it in the middle of a forest where I'd hardly seen anyone for most of the day and only heard the birds (and a Vulcan Bomber). So this photo is named for that song.

 

Taken in Grizedale Forest in the Lake District. Trying out woodland shooting, with mixed success.
