When wandering through unfamiliar woodland, I’m always on the lookout for trees that look out of place, perhaps old and wise looking trees that were probably there well before those that now surround them. I found this imposing pair one afternoon in Snowdonia and decided to return early the following day in the hope of capturing some morning mist, light and the atmospheric experience that I always crave. It was a splendid scene to witness as the light caught the fading mist and lit the gap between the almost symmetrical trees that form a gateway into an environment where I feel most content and at ease.
