Mystic Forest! (pics)

A couple of weeks ago when I got my tele lens, I went into the forest to try the new lens. The light was dull and it was rainy, so I had to use a wide aperture and ISO 1600, and the photos turned out somewhat strange. But after a while, I started to like the result, I think it looks like you walked right into a fairytale!

What awesome pictures Kirsten. I feel like I'm in a fairy world:D

Beautiful pictures. I keep looking for a little gremlin to pop out from behind one of the trees.

You are such a good photographer - what an eye!!

Kirsten, for the life of me I don't know why you don't try to have your photos published. You have such an eye.

I love them, very cool!

Wow, those belong on someone's wall. They are fantastic.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Oh how I love these forests. Your pictures show them the way I used to see them when i was a kid.

Beautiful pictures Kirsten! :)

Man, some day I really want to visit you and you need to show me all around your beautiful land. These are wonderful.

I expect Hansel and Gretel to walk down the path of the woods. . .

Beautiful!

WOW! I could just load up my computer with your pictures, they are ALL, always so beautiful! These are so magical looking!

I'd like to get lost in that forest for a day... it seems so peaceful! :)

How lovely! It looks like a wonderful place to spend the day walking.

Thanks! :) Yes, our forests here are beautiful, almost magical, but we lost a lot of trees during the past years from storms, and from ecological exploitation. Wood has become an attractive fuel in times of high oil and gas prices. :(
