There is a section at the end of Davidstow Woods that my wife and I always jokingly call ‘Apocalypse Woods’. For some reason, the stand of trees there is just a collection of mostly dead but still upright trunks, standing in a boggy section of ground that is slowly regenerating around it, and so that section is reminiscent of a bomb-ravaged WW1 battlefield. In fact, the Davidstow Airfield itself is a WW2 remnant.
Recently, the Forestry Commission managing the woods covering the old airfield have made this section more accessible, with an access road heading to it, so I was able to get in and wonder about to try some photographs.
I thought that the strong graphic verticals of the stark trunks might suit the intentional movement technique, so I set about trying that out.
It’s a bit dark and moody, but that is how I was feeling when editing it, and I think it suits the title anyway.
A not-very-subtle reminder that I have shops, at
Redbubble and Pixels,
where there are a selection of my images in all sorts of buying options
(Art, Canvas and Framed prints, and the popular greetings cards and notebooks)
It only takes a couple of small sales to keep the site ad-free, so do have a look if you have time. Thanks.

Thank you Mike.
I was unsure about posting it due to the darkness, both in it and behind it, but I think it has a lot of descriptive visual strength.

It’s a great effect. And with Halloween coming up, I suppose it suits that mood, too.

Ah, well I was only afraid of Halloween for one reason this year but thankfully it seems to have been cancelled…

I like this photo. It reminds me of the “thriller” movies back when I was a child. And given all that we have going on in the world today, I rather imagine the mood expressed would resonate with many.

Thank you Steve. Remember it’s only the ‘scary’ way I’ve chosen to show it, much like the presentation of what is going on in the world. In reality there is much more beauty than ugliness.

I wholeheartedly agree. The good found in the acts of everyday people and the beauty found in the natural world far outweighs the bad actors and the truly frightening aspects of our world. But, one must look for the good and beauty with eyes and heart trained to see.

I love this, and all of the work I’ve seen on this blog so far. I wish I didn’t have such an intimate awareness of what brain fog is, but you’ve evoked it perfectly!

Thank you.
I’ve scooted over and enjoyed your starting introductory entry on your blog too. Hopefully anyone else finding me, having come from an MS tag search, will head over too. 🙂

I like this one. I also think it would make a fantastic book cover for the right story. And I’m not thinking the horror genre, but so many of the things you bring out in your post. Stories about change and inner battles and moving through a darker life. Memoirs, maybe.

Thanks Lisa.
Yes, I could see that too. A reasonable licence fee can be agreed when you’re ready! 😉
