What a special experience to walk through this forest in early spring. There are no leaves on the trees yet but there is a beautiful white carpet of flowering snowdrops. The narrow tree trunks here and there give a nice view through to the other side of the plot. I stay at a spot where the bomb trunks lead the viewer nicely into the picture. So you go with the snowdrops into the forest. My mother was dying and I could still tell her of the first snowdrop to emerge in our garden in Overijssel. Snowdrops therefore gained a special place in my photography. That I would come across such a special fairytale forest full of snowdrops this year in the month when my mother died, I did not expect. The freshness and massiveness of the flowers particularly appealed to me. In an interior, this work will add a bit of atmosphere. The lines create an excellent sense of depth. Adding this fresh spring forest to your interior will make a narrow hall or room seem larger. Bring spring inside and enjoy.
