Beekbergerwoud
The Netherlands has 20 national parks and hundreds of other nature reserves. Most are owned by Staatsbosbeheer and Natuurmonumenten and include lakes, heathland, woods, dunes and other habitats.
According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, the territory of the Netherlands belongs to the Eco region of Atlantic mixed forests.
In 1871 the last old original natural woods (Beekbergerwoud) were cut down, and most woods today are planted monocultures of trees like Scots Pine and trees that are not native to the Netherlands. These woods were planted on anthropogenic heaths and sand-drifts (overgrazed heaths) (Veluwe).
For a long time the Beekbergerwoud has been known as the last `primaeval` woodland of the Netherlands.
Natuurmonumenten started in 2006 with the restoration of the area and tries to gain back a little of the fairytale wilderness.
Nutrient-poor and crystal clear water wells up at some places and there are still rare plants from the former swamp present. Seeds of native trees and plants are still in the ground and can sprout again.

Beekbergerwoud
10 juni 2013, natuur in wording. Even ten zuiden van Apeldoorn ligt het Beekbergerwoud. Ooit het laatste oerbos van Nederland, ontwikkelt dit vroegere agrarische gebied zich al weer aardig tot een gevarieerd natuurgebied waar je heerlijk kunt wandelen. Zo’n 8.000 jaar bleef het Beekbergerwoud ongeschonden. Totdat in 1871 tot de laatste boom werd geveld. Er kwam een agrarisch gebied met weilanden en akkers. Natuurmonumenten is in 2006 begonnen met herstel van het gebied en probeert daarbij iets van de sprookjesachtige wildernis terug te brengen. Je kunt in het Beekbergerwoud wandelen vanaf de parkeerplaats aan de Woudweg in Klarenbeek. Helder water Een bijzonder natuurgebied om te beleven, want de omstandigheden voor unieke natuur zijn nog altijd aanwezig: Er welt op een aantal plaatsen kraakhelder, voedselarm water uit de bodem op. En zijn nog steeds zeldzame planten uit het voormalige moerasbos aanwezig. Zaden van oorspronkelijke bomen en planten zaten nog in de grond en kunnen weer ontkiemen. Verbinding met IJsseldelta Het herstel houdt in dat het schone welwater beter in het gebied blijft staan. Op een aantal bulten zijn al zoete kers, zomereik, haagbeuk en winterlinde geplant. Meer werkzaamheden zullen volgen, met als doel dat het Beekbergerwoud een aanwinst is voor de Nederlandse natuur. Een onmisbare schakel die de Veluwe als vanouds met de IJsseldelta verbindt. Zodat planten, zoogdieren, vogels, reptielen en amfibieën zich beter over grote afstand kunnen verplaatsen.
On the other side of the gate
Lies the path leading to your fate
Across the miles of wild green
To the hill, that now is seen
Rising up into the sky above
Filled with fears, hopes and love
At the end of the path of waiting fate
That stretches out behind the gate

Sunrise and thick fog. This print came a lot closer to my vision of the scene than any of the several lith prints I attempted.
Well I'm hoping you will agree that a trail is the same or similar to a path!!

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
The golden evening light turned this pleasant path at Fountain Creek Regional Park into something from a fairy tale.
There's no post-processing magic involved here, either -- Mother Nature created this scene all by herself. I made some slight corrections to the exposure/contrast, and that's it.

▶ Photographer's note:
During 2024, I made several attempts at capturing intimate images of forest floors, inspired, in part, by the work of British photographer Simon Booth. As with the other images, I photographed this tableau as is, not assembled or arranged, except by nature.

Through the green, past the trees
Riding on the Summer breeze
Chasing shadows on the ground
Followed by bees that buzz around
As on the branches, winged ones talk
Through the green, i slowly walk
Following the scent blown on the breeze
Of life's beauty blown on the breeze
Last time I went to Hunstanton I chose the wrong beach, right beach this time, but underestimated how far in the tide needs to be, so it was already a bit too far out by the time the sun set. It's a fair old drive, but will be paying a return visit as it's a great location.
There is always a path
This one is on the water
It's easy to slip and fall
And you can get really really wet
And definitely muddy
Sometimes we do that in life
Step off our path
It's not always easy to see that we do
We may feel it, if we are interested to listen to our feelings
Cause our intuition is telling us that something is wrong
Sometimes we are off track for a long long time
When we find our path again its a glorious feeling
Welcome Home
There is not
one path
There is not
Even the
right path
There is only
your path!
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."
Henry David Thoreau
