Description
Pleasure of Pathless Woods - nat
I was in New York, and got the chance to visit up in Woodstock, home, or at least in namesake, to the legendary Woodstock Festival. Behind this friends house and only a 10 minute walk to the charming town, there was these woods. I live in Oregon, but these woods were very light and airy compared to the ones I'm used to. The morning this image was taken, I saw a large pileated woodpecker, a deer, and a rabbit.
An alternate color and black and white versions are also available in the gallery.
The title is from the first stanza of Lord Byron's poem, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage.
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne�er express, yet cannot all conceal.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.
I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
