Sächsische Schweiz - ganz tief hinten: auf einsamsten Pfaden unterwegs von Hinterhermsdorf zum Luchsstein an der sächsisch-böhmischen Grenze. Während der 5 1/2-stündigen Wanderung liefen mir ganze 3 Leute über den Weg...
Der Große Ziegengrund gehört zu den verlorenen Wegen im Elbsandstein, die der Kernzonenausweisung im Nationalpark Sächsische Schweiz zum Opfer gefallen sind. Früher verlief hier von der Kirnitzsch über den Luchstein bis zum Altarstein ein Wanderweg. Über den Stimmersdorfer Steig ging es auf der böhmischen Seite sogar weiter bis in den Großen Zschand. Heute ist im Großen Ziegengrund nur ein kleiner Wegeabschnitt am Luchsstein legal zu erwandern.
Das Foto entstand 2017 zu einer Zeit, als der Wald im Ziegengrund noch intakt war. Mittlerweile hat der Borkenkäfer auch hier weite Teile des Baumbestandes geschädigt und vernichtet.

This road that must have served some community at sometime is now deep inside Tallman Mountain State Park and overlooks both the Hudson River and Piermont Marsh.
A neck ditch (Halsgraben), sometimes called a throat ditch, is a dry moat that does not fully surround a castle, but only bars the side that is not protected by natural obstacles.
An enchanted place somewhere in the Austrian forests ...
Early autumn in Tallman Mountain State Park. When things dry out at this section of the Long Path in Palisades, New York, it probably seems pretty moist to most viewers.

The glowing highlights at the top are the result of two different effects: (1) the single-coated Tessar of the Rollei 35, which seems to be somewhat prone to lens flare and (2) the comparatively poor anti-halation layer of the Fomapan film.

Three from this delicious fungi i've found yesterday. All only 2-3m away from the forestpath. A very happy day with a family gathering at the evening for eat them.

Winter without snow, most of the land looking grey, but then one late afternoon the late light falls through the leafless trees by the lake...
Maid Marion walking her trusty steed through Sherwood Forest on her way to a secret meeting with Robin Hood.
Or Olga the Russian beauty, who often models for me, walking through the woods in Granby, CT with a beautiful white horse named Oliver. What a perfect morning this was.

Snowy path through the forest - like a nursery rhyme. Not a surprise these woods star in so many films.

Thoughts about film grain
Film grain of b&w film consists of small particles of metallic silver, developed from exposed silver halides imbedded in the film emulsion. Providing the building blocks of an image, grain is much like the brush strokes of a painting. In contrast to pixels of digital images, film grain creates a random texture. Classic film emulsions with their cubic silver halide crystals normally deliver more distinct grain than more modern emulsions with their tabular grain.
Among photographers, there are pros and cons to having more or less grain. This is a matter of personal preference, since it depends on the desired look and feel. Before the digital age, the development of new film emulsions was driven by the intension to make images look cleaner and sharper. However, too little film grain can make an image look digital. For creating this kind of look, a digital camera rather than a film camera would be better suited.
In contrast, pronounced grain can be used as an artistic device, creating a certain look or feel. It can be used to add a distinct grittiness and texture to an image. The increasing micro contrast can enhance the impression of sharpness for example of stonework. Film grain prevents homogeneous areas like the sky looking like the glossy surface of plastics. Moreover, more film grain can give an image a nostalgic look. However, too much film grain can be distracting and make an image look too noisy. The challenge is to achieve the right balance of graininess for a specific photographic subject and the desired look.
