I'm a sucker for nature - sometimes it just adds so much depth that I cannot comprehend where I should start.

The close-up of the roots gives this certain eerie feeling - I've seen "Sleepy Hollow" far too many times, so its just an opinion - while the leaves covering the ground, and the hue of grey adds a surprising contrast to the work.

Its stark, no doubt, but its a worthwhile stark - all of your works have this certain point of focus, and here its definitely the tree's roots.

They make you think about your origins, while also reminding you of home.

You have got to love a photograph that is really about nothing but you can't stop looking at it.Β  Nice find as most people would have just passed it by.

Great answer!
I guess that would be an amazing location for a big high fashion shooting.

High fashion gnomes. Hmm.

No, ugly gnomes as contrast to beautiful high fashion models.
