The Golden Path | Storm King 2025 | Snugug Photography

The photograph captures a scene in a forest during autumn, emphasizing the textures and layers of nature and man-made elements. In the foreground is a dry-stacked stone wall, made of flat, gray rocks of varying sizes. The wall runs horizontally across the frame, starting in sharp focus at the bottom and gradually fading into the background. Its surface is rough and uneven, with visible moss and lichens adding to its weathered appearance. Behind the wall, a row of tall, straight trees with thick, textured bark stand close together. The trees' trunks are a deep, earthy brown with prominent ridges and grooves. Above the trees, the autumn foliage is visible, with leaves in shades of yellow and gold creating a bright, warm canopy. The ground is covered in fallen leaves of similar colors, adding to the autumnal atmosphere. A few trees stand out in the distance on a ridge, indicating a slightly elevated landscape. The light is soft and diffused, casting gentle shadows that enhance the depth and texture of the scene. The overall impression is one of tranquility and timelessness, highlighting the interplay between natural and constructed elements in the landscape. — The Golden Path

I really loved "Storm King Wall" by Andy Goldsworthy. It was wavy and built to curve around trees that would have gotten in its way. I tried a bunch of different angles to try and capture what I saw, and eventually found myself with this shot.
