A real dirt road in a real forest, great capture. I have walked in a forest here and nice and quiet then the roar as a huge logging truck comes into view and you never seem to hear them until they are right there beside you. These days I have hearing aids so I can hear them before I see them.
The forest there is just wonderful! We have ferns in out woods too but there is something about those ferns in your photo here, they seem really big! I really like this photo, it looks like an area I would love to be, dirt roads!
