A straight road lost in mist, fringed by ancient oaks in their warm autumnal hues - this is the enchanting sight of the road to Exloo, in the middle of the Drenthe countryside. The mist hangs low between the trees, muffling every sound, while the soft light of morning makes the orange and golden brown leaves glow.
This avenue leads through an area typical of Drenthe: rolling, wooded and steeped in history. Nearby are ancient ash villages and moors where sheep herds once grazed. The trees along this road form a natural vault that embraces the traveller, as it were - a gateway to silence and reflection.
The photograph captures the moment when autumn and mist meet and the world seems to stand still for a moment. The long line of the road symbolises time and movement, while the surrounding nature breathes tranquillity and stillness. An image that perfectly captures the soul of Drenthe: simple, timeless and full of layered beauty.
