Captured this beautiful moment of 'komorebi' (Japanese word for sunlight filtering through the trees) near Raven's Rock yesterday. 🌲✨

A vertical shot of a forest path winding through a dense conifer plantation. The scene is high-contrast, with deep shadows cast by the thick evergreen branches above. Sunlight filters through gaps in the canopy, illuminating patches of the rocky, granite-stepped path and low-lying reddish-brown vegetation on the forest floor. The light creates a glowing, ethereal atmosphere, drawing the eye toward the brighter centre of the image.

"How ‘forest bathing’ keeps lungs healthy

Wooded environments release organic compounds that seem to improve respiratory health, but the magnitude and mechanism of the effect remains unclear.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Italian scientists documented something interesting: in areas with more trees per capita, the number and severity of COVID-19 cases were lower than in places with fewer trees, even when accounting for differences in human population density1. This work is part of a growing body of research around the world investigating whether time spent in forests and nature can provide protection from infections, such as COVID-19 and pneumonia; inflammatory conditions, such as asthma, emphysema and bronchitis; and even cancer."

The sun trying desperately to shine yesterday at Devil's Glen Wood. 🌲✨

A vertical low-angle shot looking up through a dense canopy of bare tree branches silhouetted against a bright, hazy, white sky. The sun is diffused behind the centre of the trees, creating a soft, glowing backlight. Darker evergreen bushes frame the bottom left, while the ground below is covered in reddish-brown bracken and ferns. The overall mood is atmospheric, high-contrast, and slightly mysterious.

There’s a magic to how the sun catches the mist and the moss when in the valley. A perfect winter's afternoon in the Sunny Southeast last year. 🌲✨

A low-angle, atmospheric shot of a forest interior. In the foreground, a large, dark fallen tree trunk stretches diagonally across the frame, dappled with small green ivy leaves and moss. Behind it, tall vertical tree trunks stand closely together. Bright golden sunlight bursts through the gaps in the trees, creating a hazy, ethereal glow that illuminates the mist and highlights the texture of the bark.

Das Bild ist vertikal zweigeteilt und zeigt linksseitig eine dunkelgraue, grobschuppige, stellenweise grünlich gefärbte Außenseite und rechtsseitig eine hellbraune, dünnschuppige Innenseite einer Kiefernborke.

I don't know why, but it's always magical when you spot a cluster of fungi on a woodland walk like this. It’s like stumbling upon a tiny, secret village on the forest floor. The textures here were just begging to be photographed.

A close-up, eye-level photograph of a large, dense cluster of golden-brown mushrooms growing from the ground. The smooth, rounded caps vary in size, with lighter cream edges and darker tan centres. They are surrounded by blades of green grass and dry, brown pine needles, creating a natural, earthy scene with soft, diffused lighting.

A landscape photograph capturing a large, luminous cloud of mist rising from Glenmacnass Waterfall. The mist is illuminated by bright sunlight, creating a stark contrast against a dark, dense forest of pine trees on the steep slope in the background. In the foreground, dry golden grasses glow in the light, bordered by a rustic grey stone wall running along the bottom edge of the frame. The scene conveys a cool, crisp, and sunny atmosphere.

Just indulged ourselves with an hour of shirin-yoku or #forestbathing in a local reserve. While we could hear traffic noise, it faded in and out as we walked multiple loops of the circuit and the side paths.

$A black and white photograph taken from a low angle looking directly up into the canopy of a winter forest. The image is filled with the intricate, vein-like silhouettes of bare tree branches stretching across a bright, pale sky. The high contrast highlights the rough texture of the bark and the complex, fractal patterns of the interlocking twigs.$
