Secret Places
The trees don’t sleep at night
they drink the silence
and breathe the breeze
that rustles the leaves
until new light is born.
When you walk deep into a forest, you’ll find them: secret and quiet places, where almost nobody ever comes.
The wind and the sun play with grass and leaves, painting together a constantly changing scenery…
Abandoned Forest
No one in the forest
Thoughts come and go, aloneness
Silence of the morning light
One foggy day, I go to a forest near our house. I hope it will be foggy in the forest too, but it turns out not to be. But the morning light and the silence in the deserted forest, create a special atmosphere. It gives space to let your thoughts run free.

Frozen Scent
First snowflakes falling
The cold breeze is scattering
frozen scent of pines
After two years without 'real' snow, some snow fell in northwest Jutland earlier this week. Above that, it was cold enough for a few days to enjoy the white landscape.
A wonderful moment for a walk in a forest. The delicate scent of damp pine trees is dispersed through the forest by an icy breeze.

Golden Haze
And now the day is over,
fragile silence rises from the ground
Sunlight swirls through the forest
plays with old trees in a golden haze
I made this photo during an evening walk through the beautiful forest Dover Plantage, near the town of Hurup Thy in North Jutland, Denmark.

2 º Duality
The symbolism of the numbers 1 to 4, for me represents how all life evolves.
Originated from a single cell, followed by the awareness of your environment (duality), the growth to adulthood and ultimately the stability that comes with wisdom.

Into Autumn Light
Fleeing the dark night
I wander
into autumn light
Early in the morning after a cloudy, dark night. The morning sun shines on the colorful carpet of autumn leaves...

Silent Darkness
Silent forest
A tree hums
Dark sound
Forests often have an enchanting atmosphere. The silence that is enhanced by the murmur of leaves, the dim light, a creaking branch that makes you look around where that deer is hiding...
But sometimes a forest is like a fairy tale. Usually those are the rare moments when a few rays of sunlight manage to penetrate to the soft moss through a dense canopy.

Tickled By The Sun
Tickled by the sun
the smell of warm soil
Summer woods
What makes a forest look like a fairytale? Old trees, moss, a dense canopy, winding paths... All that is part of it.
But for me, the most determining factor for the atmosphere is the sunlight.
Sometimes the sun shines through the canopy so beautifully that the ground, grasses and shrubs seem to give light.

Lost In Memories
Musing trees in morning mist,
the new day hesitates and knows
they lose themselves in memories
It's still early in the quiet foggy forest. The new day seems to hesitate to start, so as not to disturb the trees at their musing.

The Last Light
Golden flakes of light float through the cold evening air, bringing the last light of the day into the darkening forest.

Rustling Light
The sun rustles through the reeds,
the wind listens breathlessly
A calm morning, the light of the early morning sun touches the reeds and seems to make it rustle softly…

Floating On Frozen Silence
Bare trees, floating on frozen silence
A cold morning breeze caresses your face
Footsteps gently break the fresh snow
It's early in the morning. It has been snowing all night, there is no one else in the forest. Carefully you take a step into the fresh snow….
