So often as you begin to walk into the great forests of the Pacific Northwest, you get a sense of entering a forest primeval and that, like "Hansel & Gretel" you must not forget your bread crumbs. This photo was taken near Kalaloch on the Washington coast.
"Solitude is the soil in which genius is planted, creativity grows, and legends bloom; faith in oneself is the rain that cultivates a hero to endure the storm, and bear the genesis of a new world, a new forest."
~ Mike Norton
It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.
- Robert Louis Stevenson

The pine is the dominant tree of my region present in most forested areas. The plantation has begun for many years and for economic reasons, especially for timber and resin used as raw material for diverse products. The pines are also dangerous, because they drop needle-shaped leaves covering the ground with a "carpet" of leaves (as seen in the photo), which are very flammable and one of the main reasons of fires in the region.
The Forest of Paphos, a few minutes walk from home.
The cool breeze in the evenings makes walking here a most pleasurable experience.
On a few rare occasions I spotted wild mufflon here (mufflon is the shy goat like symbol of Cyprus that is only found in this forest).
A little further, in a secret location known to only a few we pick in the summer the most scented oregano. It keeps for years but we replenish it every summer so we don't run out.
