Literature
“In the woods, too, a man casts of his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life is always a child. In the woods is perpetual youth. Within these plantations of God, a decorum and sanity reign, a perennial festival is dressed and the guest sees not how he should tire of them in a thousand years. In the woods, we return to reason and faith.”~ Ralph Waldo Emerson, from “Nature” There is probably no more inspiring and beautiful place on Earth than the Northern California Redwoods. Once visited it is hard to forget the impact it has on one’s soul and physical being. Ansel once again captures nature’s essence.Courtesy of Peter Fetterman Gallery
