Field path mirrors the fading sky

Captures from Finland, iPhone photography, Photography

The track had turned to mud by late October, curving away between the last of the fields and the first dark ranks of forest. At her feet a broad puddle held the world upside down, catching the bare birch branches and the textured gray-blue sky in a trembling mirror. Ahead, the low sun poured a warm, golden light over the rough grasses and the few stubborn leaves still clinging to the trees, setting the pale trunks aglow against the cool, gathering clouds. Birches rose in pale columns beside the brooding pines, their layered silhouettes closing in as the path slipped deeper into the woods, and the quiet air seemed to thicken with a hushed, cinematic stillness, as if the scene itself were pausing for breath before whatever might come next.

A muddy forest path reflects the autumn trees and dramatic clouds in a puddle glowing with golden light.

  3. Love the reflections and the composition.

    Note: I couldn’t comment on your Art blog. Tried several different ways. I wondered if that blog/theme had some restrictions or setting limits? Secondly, the long paragraph was impossible to read (even for Bushboy I noticed). You might like to consider breaking it up so there are only 2,3 or 4 short sentences in each paragraph. I would like to comment on your Art blog from time to time. Of course, it could be a WordPress glitch. I couldn’t read Ann-Christine’s blog for 2 whole weeks when she set her challenge recently. It came good about 2 weeks after she posted, so I assume it was a WordPress glitch.

      1. Thank, Ritva.

        So it’s a WordPress glitch with the long Paragraphs.

        Note: I just went back to your Art Blog and the paragraphs are now showing correctly, Ritva. Thanks for that. I still couldn’t comment though. I’ll keep the email notification (of it) in my gmail inbox and try tomorrow. I really love the first image with the rich, dark colours of your collage.
