“A feeling of sadness and longing that is not akin to pain, and resembles sorrow only as the mist resembles the rain.”

And yet a soul (as always here) crosses slowly... and the crest of the trees is ascensional, slowly going up while the bunch of lost black trees gather in the middle, they look like a family staying close in the torment... Let's let the wind makes the mist disappear the time needed. Sometimes a whole harsh week. Every step, good or bad, has to be crossed. And then the sun come back & shine again behind the curtain, mist or rain. Circle of Life... The delicacy of the light & your blacks & white here are really thought-provoking with that quote to go with - Beautiful & deep, Sharon*

Hey, Mr. Mist ! Please cover and hide the sadness of mine. Or else I will be buried under the sadness.

Another last chance to see the Lost World . . pure magic.

A fabulous atmosphere in this black and white. The mist surrounding the island of the broken trees is just wonderful. Love the Longfellow!

oh and this tree picture makes me sad, as the misty morning begins, some will not survive, falling over, drunken trees because of global warming, what once were mighty....
20 Sep 2010 2:41pm

Very well composed and great capture of the mist...
Splendid Indeed!

oh I just love it. The middle falling tree is wonderful. It's all so full of feeling. Love the quote.
21 Sep 2010 2:19am
A wondrous image with an amazing atmosphere. A high wow factor here.
21 Sep 2010 2:24am
Interesting. While I understand that the capture may be of trees admist the mist.
But to me, the darker B&W tone and a tree appearing bent (tending towards falling down) and the mist more appearing like a smoke.. brings out a darker impression of whats happening with trees..

Like an island in the mist. An enchanting story of the forest !
21 Sep 2010 6:13am
A resort for the last group of trees at the edge of time?

You captured the mood very well here... it is as if I was there!
22 Sep 2010 5:46am
Today, how weird i didn't see it before, i see first & only the bending exhausted tree that needs a shoulder to rest its heavy head and i'm glad it found the strongest tree of the united tribe close to it as a tender shoulder, indeed...
22 Sep 2010 7:27am
The mist is beautiful and mysterious by spreading its charm.
22 Sep 2010 8:45am
Beautiful, moody photo. Love the desaturated feeling.

A wonderful picture that goes so well to the quote. Great combination and an interesting whole.
26 Sep 2010 1:53pm
So very tranquil. The words fit perfectly.
28 Sep 2010 1:19pm
This is a so soulful shot with this great quotation to go with. Delicate and deep, as your black and white tones are, as mist slightly covering black trees.
28 Sep 2010 1:46pm
Superb b&w, i could stare at it forever ... and ever.
28 Sep 2010 8:34pm
