Description
"I hate this wretched willow soul of mine, patiently enduring, plaited or twisted by other hands." ~ Karin Boye
Another IR photo of a stairway leading up into the forest. A bit of a jumble, but I rather like the interplay of light and form. It inspired BJ (mamabobbijo) to write this lovely prose, so I am putting it here: "The sun shone brightly down that day, and pretended to chase the shadows away. They played a rowdy game of seek and find, the breeze joined in and chased not far behind. Through the stately willow wood, then up and down the stair they chased each other, breathlessly, and mussed up my hair. I laughed aloud as the play progressed, amazed by such a sight, this wonderful dance as the shadows, played tag with the breeze and the light. Later as I lay safely dreaming at home in my bed, the blissful dance, played again and again, scampering through my head. I drifted off to the woodlands, turning into shadow and light, and joined them myself in that wondrous dance, much to my delight!" -----

A wonderful BW photography with this stair in between all those brushwoods! What an excellent light and shadow play! Fabulously taken!!!
What a wonderfull pict... merveillous light and DOF! I like very much!
Feels like I'm right in there. Excellent work. Aloha
A very nice gallery - you have a very good interpretation of things. PS Thanks for moving my image today - I assum you're a moderator to be able to do that. (Sorry for mentioning this here , but could not find how to send a private message to you!) Turan
lookin good
Superb work! ***** :)
Every bit as impressive as the previous ones. The tree branch just above the top of the stairs that twists and curls like a billowing ribbon really draws the eye onward and upward!
Interesting shot, Im loving the IR series youve got going on here. Excellent work.
One of the prettiest of this series so far. I love the light against the dark areas here!
colourful white
Incredible atmosphere you have captured in this photograph! Your composition is superb and the image looks eerie yet very inviting. It's that idea of the unknown, of what lies beneath and beyond that staircase that does it for me... The shades and the tones are excellent, and the little bit of stairway we find here brings out a mystic feel to the image---- great mood and atmosphere at play in this photorgraph! It seems as though the light is trying very hard to maneuver its way into the darkness.... And the title, is most perfectly suited for the image! Magnificent capture!
Looks dreamy - unreal! Great work! (Now we're even - timewise...grin)
This is great and i like the way it leads the eye onward. Good contrasts!
What can I say that hasn't already been said above - magnificent picture, excellently captured. x
Very impressive FX!
Excellent capture!
Continuing making us travelling and dreaming .....
WOOWO! Such a pretty place!!!! Love the PV U did too. My ohhh my, it's some perfect photo.
love how u r never boring..always bringing something kewl to the table..S
OMG, what other surprises does the Amazon basin hold? Odd spot for stairs I would think. Anyway, another masterful capture in a long line of masterful captures. Beautiful contrast among the foliage. But, in all candor, I wouldn't have considered this an IR photo unless you had indicated so.
Yes, defenetaly light and shadow rules this shot!
I want to live in these places!! WTG Kort
A true masterpiece from a true master!
awesome garden and ir
Super light FX with the IR, the plants look very ghostly, just right for the Blair Witch #3 movie !!! ~Cheers~
You and me both...the shadow is awesome! Excellent work. ;o)
Nice one !! IR is such a cool thing, love it!! Cheers from Lou

Sorry but your photos are having an incredible effect on my sadly quiet muse! BJ
The IR-effect puts a lot of magic into this image.
I love it very very nice picture erland
