I often walk in the forests around Soest, the Netherlands. This bench is in the De Stulp nature reserve. As I usually go out early in the morning, it is quiet and I don't meet anyone. That gives me plenty of time to photograph.
The image gives a view between the trees in a clearing in the forest. The bench is slightly higher, giving you an even better view of the surroundings.
This photo is in black and white which makes the special atmosphere stand out even more. You can see that it is early morning, as there is still a little mist in the distance. The path to the bench adds depth to the photo, leading the viewer to the bench and then to the horizon.
