This photo was taken in the Heumensoord forest in Nijmegen. You can see a lone hiker walking among the large, majestic trees of that forest. It is dark, but she is walking towards the light at the end of the path. Between the trees, you can still see the last rays of the sun that day and they colour the path with a soft orange glow.
The photo has a mysterious atmosphere. Perhaps it reminds you of 'the walker above the mist' by Caspar David Friedrich, or another painter from the Romantic era. This is no coincidence, as that atmosphere has also been tried to set in the picture.
The picture was taken sometime in autumn towards sunset. At that time, the light has a beautiful colour, strokes into the picture as it were and creates a beautiful, mysterious atmosphere.
Can you already see this picture hanging in your interior? It will surely bring you many admiring glances!
