" The Autumn Forest at Clara Vale "
Clara Vale, Co. Wicklow is probably the smallest village in Ireland as it just consists of a church, a tiny school and about 3 houses. It lies on a side road between Laragh and Rathdrum and if you blinked you would miss the turning for this hidden gem!
The Avonmore river runs through it and it also has one of the last natural hardwood forests in Ireland. A stunning place much loved by walkers and the general public alike it is a hidden jewel. I was there last Saturday and got totally lost in the wood! Anyway, if you keep walking long enough you will find a way out which is what I did. Ill have to get a map of the area for next time and maybe I wont bother!!! Anyway, its an amazing place to get lost in!
The trees in the photo are Larch and Beech with Oak trees on the right hand side of the path.
The undergrowth is mostly Bracken, some dead and brown and amazingly, some still growing on the left of the track. Its no wonder I got lost in this magical place really!
Heres a link to the place so if your ever passing that way, do drop by!
I took this pic as it occurred and I like the colours in it which add an air of mystery to the place. Woods are difficult to photograph as Im sure you all know and I dont think there is any formula apart from experimenting when photographing them.
Hope you like my "lost" effort and have a great day!
Keep safe!!!
