Description A little pond at the back of the forest, with a path leading there where hardly anybody walks. What are its secrets? I think it must have quite a few.
Taken near Bilthoven/The Netherlands.

Makes me think of the wonderful Donald Sutherland movie 'Don't Look Now'... have you seen it?

The mist adds a certain evil whisper over the water.... made me shiver... and think of that movie... the pond, where the little girl drowned...

Oh, dear, fortunately I did not know the film when I was at that pond. Things like that could have happened there, too.

Quite unreal... Mist adds a lot of athmosphere I wouldn't look down there if I were you, who knows what can be hiding in those waters

Yes, I was very glad that I discovered it. The mist made me roam around a bit.

Intriguing scenery. It seems almost out of place there.

Misty and mysterious. I don't know why, but the idea of being next to this pool on a dark night makes me very nervous.

Lovely shot in any case.

You've got a point there. I bet this is much too near that mossy rock!
