There is a reality about the woods. Time is motionless but its touch is everywhere. Decay and growth merge together into one cycle. Left to itself without the axe and saw all is equalised. Nothing lasts forever and yet the whole is ageless.

Series of Four #5 – Cold Trees
Series of Four
This is the fifth Blog in the “Series of Four” series. Each blog focuses on a different aspect of photography, either technical or creative. To see the full set of “Series of Four” blogs, click here.
Cold Trees
These are monochromatic images in blue. They capture the eery atmosphere of a very cold misty morning with low light and not much detail in the landscape except these trees which seemed to rise out of the cold earth. They make very simple but provocative images.
These images were shot on 1 January 2009 near a village on the border between France and Switzerland.
Woodland moods
If you go down to the woods today ……
I spent some time in the woods on the North Downs in Surrey near Caterham yesterday to enjoy a rare sunny day with Toffee Dog and my cameras, trying to capture the mood of the woods in the midst of winter. The creepers entwine themselves around the trees in tight spindly embraces which constrict and smother. A touch of green promises warmer times to come.
These images are available individually in 40 x 16 inch (1.0 x 0.4m) panels or as a set of 4 panels in either Acrylic or Blockmounts. Contact Len Abrams for details.
