Aspen Forest. Dixie National Forest, Utah. October 5, 2012. © Copyright 2017 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Tall autumn aspen trees stretch across mountain landscape of Dixie National Forest
Generally speaking, aspen trees don't grow like this much in my home state of California. On a two-week visit to Southern Utah's beautiful wild and protect lands back in 2012 we entered the state from the west and drove up into the mountains around Brian Head and Cedar Breaks National Monument, where we spent a few early October days poking around, exploring, and discovering autumn color. (Utah aspen color comes a bit earlier than Sierra Nevada aspen color, and it was reaching the end of its run when we arrived.) One afternoon we simply decided, for no particular reason that I can recall, to investigate a gravel road that headed of to the south from a main route, and before long we ended up among the tall, straight trees of this beautiful aspen forest.
For all of its beauty, much of which has been preserved in national parks, monuments, and forests, there are political forces in Utah that want to destroy these beautiful places that belong to all Americans. Rather than saving and protecting the beauties of their state, they want to give the resources away for the short-term benefit of special interests who will use up the land and walk away. (Take a look at the legacy of the Uranium mining around Moab if you need example of a precedent.) There are many ways to fight back and work to protect these lands. One group doing good work on behalf of the Utah wild land resources is the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. They could use your support right about now.

Another shot of the great grey owl I found on a ridge above Fox Creek, Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest.
The colors of the ferns and trees have now fully turned into the oranges, reds, and yellows of late autumn.
Orlestone Forest is a 347.6-hectare (859-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest south of Ashford in Kent.[1][2] It is a Nature Conservation Review site, Grade I.[3]
This site is described by Natural England as "an important invertebrate locality of national significance". Hundreds of invertebrate species have been recorded, including 39 which are nationally rare and 134 which are nationally scarce. Several are only known in Britain on this site.[4]
A road and footpath go through the site.

This amazing Bamboo Forest is located just a short train ride outside of Kyoto, and its just like a surreal dream. I'll never forget my visit because it was raining so heavy that I had to buy myself an umbrella to explore the area. If you are only in a place once, you can't let a little rain stop you from enjoying it.
I battled the elements with my nikon D800 + nikkor 14-24mm on my tripod holding the umbrella over my camera whilst I got soaked, had to get my priorities right ! ... I had an amazing rain jacket but was wearing jeans and they seemed to weigh about 20kg full of water. I shot about 10 HDR brackets, some with groups literally 2 meters from the lens but this was my favorite of a group of Japanese girls and their pink umbrellas wandering off down the path

This image was taken at the 'Hallerbos' near Brussels
and can be simply translated to 'The forest of Halle'.
This forest is known for its bluebell carpet which covers the forest floor for only a few weeks each spring.
If you are in or near Brussels during this period make sure to have it on your "to do" list.
I had the most wonderful time shooting it :-)
Thank you all for your support, comments and faves!
A mossy forest in the Maine woods, owned by Bowdoin College. Taken this summer.

Camera: Agfa Clack converted into a pinhole camera.
Film: Kodak Tmax 100.
Development: Rodinal 1:50, 13 minutes.
I converted the Agfa Clack into a pinhole camera myself. It's really easy; anyone can do it! Just remove the lens and shutter (just a few screws...), put the pinhole in (I bought it from RealitySoSubtle, diameter 0.3mm) and put the shutter back. The dark sides are from the cone that doesn't contain the lens anymore but that I left on the camera....
