O troço do trilho pedestre que conduz à Cascata de Sotillo atravessa um denso bosque autóctone do Parque Natural do Lago de Sanabria e das Serras Segundera e de Porto, no extremo noroeste da província de Zamora, em Castela e Leão. Declarado parque natural em 1978 e ampliado em 2017, este espaço protegido abrange cerca de 32 302 hectares. Alberga o Lago de Sanabria, o maior lago de origem glaciar da Península Ibérica, modelado pela acção dos glaciares quaternários na bacia do rio Tera. A vegetação inclui carvalhos-alvarinhos (Quercus pyrenaica), bétulas, azevinhos e um denso sub-bosque de fetos, favorecidos pela humidade e pelas condições atlânticas de montanha. O piso do trilho, marcado por raízes expostas, blocos graníticos e solos húmidos, evidencia o relevo acidentado e a persistente influência da água. A Cascata de Sotillo situa-se no vale homónimo, percurso que conserva bosques bem preservados e acompanha linhas de água afluentes do Tera.
The section of the hiking trail leading to the Sotillo Waterfall winds through a dense native forest in the Lake Sanabria and the Segundera and Porto Mountains Natural Park, in the far northwest of the province of Zamora, in Castile and León. Designated a natural park in 1978 and expanded in 2017, this protected area covers approximately 32,302 hectares. It is home to Lake Sanabria, the largest glacial lake on the Iberian Peninsula, shaped by the action of Quaternary glaciers in the Tera River basin. The vegetation includes Pyrenean oaks (Quercus pyrenaica), birches, holly, and a dense undergrowth of ferns, all favored by the humidity and Atlantic mountain conditions. The trail surface, marked by exposed roots, granite boulders, and damp soil, highlights the rugged terrain and the persistent influence of water. The Sotillo Waterfall is located in the valley of the same name, a route that features well-preserved forests and follows the watercourses that feed into the Tera River.

I wish, I wish to sit here all day and breathe some fresh eucalyptus air. Despite every pre-caution, my wife and I have ended up with head or respiratory tract infections. She got it first and then me. We have done several COVID tests - all negative thank goodness. I will never diss her again, I could not believe how horrible they are - my poor sinus effected nose would just not open up for that swab! We wear masks everywhere and avoid crowds and even family and yet it got through. What hope is there against COVID and the new strains coming through?
Enough of our problems, many of you will have been through the same and worse and it could be a lot worse for us. Today's bench is in the forest at Indigiscapes in Capalaba on Brisbane's south side. They have wonderful old trees there but we never saw a koala or a Yeti.
But to sit in the warm winter sun all day would be nice.
A small world, yet lot to discover. The autumn colour is in the mind, in the soul. It's just an reflection of that.
A path in Elizabeth Park - West Hartford, Connecticut. I spend a lot of time in this park - it's beyond beautiful. I used 2 textures on this: Ghostbones "Vintage Sky" and IrisB477 "Copper Grunge". Thanks, guys.

Real world softness of a triplet lens with open aperture.
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 ...
“Even the smallest light may guide us through the deepest shadows — for hope, like magic, dwells in humble places.”
A narrow footpath covered with fallen leaves leads through a mixed woodland of tall trees and green-yellow autumn foliage, with dappled sunlight reaching the forest floor.
I call this place, hidden away and known only to local residents of Half Moon Bay in northern California, the "Enchanted Forest". That's not its real name.....to my knowledge it has no name and is not shown on any map. The trees along the trail were originally placed here to provide a barrier for farmers against the strong winds that often blow along the northern Pacific coast. In time the trees formed a dense canopy that, today, shades the understory of this forest trail.

This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks,
Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight,
Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic,
Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms.
Loud from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced neighboring ocean
Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest.
This is the forest primeval.
Poem by H.W. Longfellow (from Evangeline, 1847)

Standing tall through the shifting seasons, this old tree reminds us that change is a form of strength.
Each branch tells a story of growth, resilience, and time — painted in the quiet fire of autumn.
Captured in the calm of the forest, where silence speaks and colors breathe.
Um troço dos passadiços de madeira nas Lagoas de Bertiandos e São Pedro de Arcos, inseridos na Paisagem Protegida do concelho de Ponte de Lima, no distrito de Viana do Castelo. Esta infraestrutura elevada é crucial para o ecoturismo, permitindo a circulação de visitantes em zonas sensíveis sem compactar o solo ou danificar a vegetação ribeirinha. A área, classificada como Zona Húmida de Importância Internacional e parte da Rede Natura 2000, abrange cerca de 350 hectares, resultado da dinâmica hidrológica histórica do rio Lima. Os passadiços atravessam um mosaico de habitats, incluindo lagoas permanentes, bosques aluviais e áreas de pastagem, protegendo o ecossistema pantanoso, que conta com uma densa flora higrófila. Este ambiente é vital para a filtragem natural da água e serve de refúgio para diversas espécies de avifauna e anfíbios. Além de facilitar a observação e educação ambiental, os passadiços promovem a conservação da biodiversidade, equilibrando acesso, lazer e proteção do território.
A section of the wooden walkways at the Bertiandos and São Pedro de Arcos Lagoons, located within the Protected Landscape of Ponte de Lima, in the district of Viana do Castelo. This elevated infrastructure is crucial for ecotourism, allowing visitor circulation through sensitive areas without compacting the soil or damaging the riverside vegetation. Classified as a Wetland of International Importance and part of the Natura 2000 Network, this area spans approximately 350 hectares, shaped by the historical hydrological dynamics of the Lima River. The walkways traverse a mosaic of habitats, including permanent lagoons, floodplain forests, and pasture areas, while protecting the underlying wetland ecosystem characterized by dense hygrophilous flora. This environment is vital for natural water filtration and serves as a refuge for various species of avifauna and amphibians. In addition to facilitating observation and environmental education, the walkways promote biodiversity conservation, balancing access, recreation, and territorial protection.

One of the pictures to see the different look of HP5 rated @ 1600 (pushed two stops) in comparison to Delta 3200 rated @ 1600 (the actual sensitivity of this film).
Using the Novar triplet lens with wide aperture f/5.6 results in a distinct softening, which adds to the background softening from the limited depth of field.
