A walk in a coniferous forest
It was a beautiful foggy morning and I felt the need to back to Timbuktu Coniferous forest, it’s the only one I know of in New Jersey. I love the trees there, very peaceful and quiet. I found it quite easy to get lost in because it all looks the same.
Temperate coniferous forest is a terrestrial biome defined by the World Wide Fund for Nature. Temperate coniferous forests are found predominantly in areas with warm summers and cool winters, and vary in their kinds of plant life. Wikipedia

Being surrounded by pine forest I am all too aware how difficult it is to project the beauty of such environments with a photograph. I find deciduous woodlands much more interesting for photography. That said, I still do a fair amount of imaging on the local pine savannas. It simply forces one to be a bit more creative. Nice article Lou!
Bob, yes, I love the Pine forest that I live near, but I now am carless, so I can’t connect with those beautiful trees. I have to settle on the ones in my neighborhood.
I’m also in the process of rewriting old posts
Thanks for the visit. Lou
And, if you don’t mind, your post gave me an idea to write a story about the background to this image. So that is my blog post for the day achieved! You can find it here

Steve; you made my day! Cheers!
I always think it is hard to get interesting photos in a forest – there is just so much going on, but I think you managed it very nicely here. One thing I have tried occasionally is to either try to move the camera deliberately upwards when taking the shot, or doing the same sort of thing with a blur in Photoshop to hide some of the details and get to the outlines of what the forest was about. In this image I took it a bit more away from reality by digitally painting the image.

Makes for an intriguing image I think!
Steve; Yes, I agree, motion blur makes a more artsy and awesome image.
