Just past Craggy Gardens on the Parkway stands this wonderful grove of beech trees with the Mountains-to-Sea
trail running through it.   The ground under the trees is covered in long, silky grass, and the trail meanders through,
drawing the hiker onward through the trees to whatever lies beyond.  The canopy is quite dense, making it feel
almost like an indoor space.  In the spring, the forest floor is dotted with trillium and other wildflowers.  I've come
here many times, but the pictures I like best were taken on foggy days.  The fog adds mystery to the scene, and
makes me want even more to go just a little further up the trail, just to see what's around the next bend.  This is a
spot I can easily imagine Frodo and Sam walking quietly through on their way to Mordor, with Gollum just out of
sight behind them in the fog.
As most people seem to
prefer them, prices are for
framed prints, ready to
hang.  I use a very nice
matt black wood frame 7/8
of an inch wide, with a
white mat.  If you would like
to order unframed prints,
go to the "Purchase" page
for pricing.
