Into the woods

I knocked one off my bucket list when I climbed to the top of Tippings' Mountain aka as Trumpet Hill yesterday evening with a local hill walking group.
First we wended our way through the beautiful ancient woodlands with its carpet of wild flowers before scrambling to the rocky top of the mountain.
There wasn't much time for photography as we were racing to be out of the woods by dusk.
As the walk was a last minute decision resulting from a story I did that afternoon, I hadn't had a chance to charge up my camera battery and naturally it died just before we got to the top.

Olympus OM-D E-M5
1/500s f/4.5 at 17.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

You, like me, are in need of a second battery. The Sun in this shot is appealingly warm, but I'm afraid that the deep shadows give these woods are very ominous feel. Congratulations on the achievement regardless.

there is an attractive openness about this path through the woods...perhaps it's time to add a spare battery to the camera bag..

Glad you did the walk, and this certaily is a marvelous forest scene with the sun going down quickly. Yes, those little Oly batteries do that to me too! V

A beautiful and tranquil forest scene, and the light and shadows are excellent. Sounds like a fun hike, although too bad about the camera giving out at just the wrong time! V.
