I don't normally do the "before and after" thing, but just for a change I decided to offer a glimpse of the original... so here you go...
This is a scene from Thorswood Nature Reserve. The reserve is owned/managed by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust and has stunning and far reaching panoramic views across the rolling Staffordshire Moorland countryside looking out over the Peak National Park, Derbyshire Dales, Weaver Hills and also has a clear view of Rugeley Power Station some 25 miles away in the flatter, south, part of the county (as in this view)
You'd think that having such good views would offer many possibilities for photos yet it's quite difficult because any features are so tiny that you need to zoom in - and then you lose the panorama, otherwise it's just endless, featureless fields. On this day, however, a good opportunity presented it'self because of the features in the sky and snow on the ground - so....click, had to be quick actually before those fabulous rays of light disappeared!
Some pathway lead me to this creation. Pathways, large and small, going in all directions; not one size fits all.
Forever on Thanksgiving Day
the heart will find the pathway home.

Those of you who have been with me for quite awhile know there were some tough times, but I'm very happy to say I celebrated making it 5 years after all the yucky treatments and that's what they call cancer free... yay! Thanks to all of you for your friendship and support - I truly have so much to be grateful for! ♥︎

Kilminorth Wood is a nature reserve that runs along the West Looe River valley, close to the town of Looe in S.E. Cornwall. Classified as ancient woodland, it has been described as 'the Lungs of Looe'.
The wood is mostly oak trees, but there are also sycamore, rowan, holly and other varieties. The woods are a haven for wildlife including deer, foxes and badgers as well as a wide range of birds and insects.

Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them! Thanks again!!
This was one of those shots where I thought - yes its coming together with taking photos. It was a misty morning, big surf and a nice sunrise over at Norah head with the light from the lighthouse still going.
I can't wait to get my film scanner to scan this one
The only thing I think that's a bit uneven is the 50:50 ration between the sky and foreground, and may benefit from some cropping
Unbelievable colourful end to the day...I've toned this down bit too. Taken in the Peaks.

The walk to my favourite beach to capture yet another sunset! Hope you won't be bored with the sunset shots !
