Description
"A foreigner from fielded landsWith prairie thoughts of desert sands
Who'd never seen a wood of oak,
He came to visit forest folk.
And in surprise he only sees
The mighty oaks and cypress knees,
Begged, "Someone will you help me please?
I cannot see the forest for the trees."
So I, a common forest folk,
Rustled in the leaves and spoke,
"Don't look into the wooden faces
Searching for the forest places;
Wander with the scented breeze,
Past mighty oaks and cypress knees,
Forget the timber your eye sees;
Our forest is the space between the trees." - Thomas James Allen

Stunning photo !
Love the tones in shot, it really looks mystical place.
The play of light and shadows looks superb.
And that man walking and wandering in forest looks great, lost but still searching ...
And the description "fit's" so well to the photo.
Defenitely

what a wonderful capture! it sure is good to watch you. lightning is wonderful, the stranger makes it even more surreal. i really like his pose, for some reason it brings clockwork orange to my mind. dont know why

hihi, I'm glad you enjoy watching me
Thanks for your comment. I think the clockwork orange association must come from his clothes

your right, no ultraviolence (or any kind of violence), just the clothes i guess. sometimes my brains forms links between most strange things

This is a great photo. The light, the figure, the scnene, the framing, amazing. It definitely illustrates the quote very well.

This photo is amazing. That make me realize i lack a lot of english vocabulary to say how i like this photo.
I'll try anyway : I love how the sunrays came out of the tree, and how this man seems to be lost in those strange woods.

Loverly, nice backdrop with the light pooring between the trees. He seems so much out of place but thats exactly what a "foreigner" is. Really great capture.
