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.
This was taken at Titlow Park in Tacoma WA. during a golden sunset.

Wohl bin ich ein Wald und eine Nacht dunkler Bäume: doch wer sich vor meinem Dunkel nicht scheut, der findet auch Rosenhänge unter meine Zypressen.

This forest is actually growing on top of dunes near the ocean. In this spot, all the green is simply moss covering the dune. It always feel very magical to walk through here.
