Early morning walk

view map

Location: Sao Pedro de Moel, Portugal
One morning I was driving to work and decided to take a different road. When I got to this spot, I had to stop to admire those rays of light coming down from the tall trees. Then I picked my camera, mounted it on a tripod, framed the picture and set the selftimer on. I run to the spot in the sun, counting down from 10 to 0 in my mind and... click (yes, it's me in the picture, I thought the picture needed a human element in it). This was taken in the heart of Pinhal de Leiria (Leiria's Pinetree Forest), not far from my hometown. It's a place called Ponte Nova and it's a wonderfull place to take long walks and relax.

While its true that this is a great picture with you in it--It still would be a GOOD picture without you. Glad you had the foresight to include your self. I wouldn't have thought to put myself in. mick

A insignificância do ser humano perante a grandeza da natureza...
A caminhada vale pelo facto de nunca nos levar a lado algum mas nos fazer persistir ainda que sem destino traçado.

Excellent work, Miguel. The rays shining trough the trees are amazing to watch. That's what makes a day worth to get up early and have a look at how mother nature starts our days and not rushing like hell to a place without noticing what's going on around us. You have a perfect eye for nature. V !
