I have been waiting for precisely THIS soft autumnal light all year long! So happy to catch it this way :)

a very steep stairway into a totally chaotic forest on top of the cliffs of Oxwich Bay, Wales. It felt like leaving civilization behind ...

A most wonderful forest with amazing undergrowth and ferns all over the place, we visited in Wales.

strangest scenario I have ever seen! They seem to have shaped this tree into this absurd form during its growth.

I captured these cuties during Easter in South Wales. Must have been only a day old, one could still see the remains of their umbilical cords. They looked so fragile while pressing onto this old tree, I could have shot dozens of images of them, so beautiful was the scene.

a very untouched wet forest in South Wales, full of old and very bizarre trees and endless fields of wild flowers like these white anemonae.

Der Erlkönig - The Erlking

Who rides so late through the night and wind?
It's the father with his child;
He has the boy safe in his arm,
He holds him secure, he holds him warm.

“My son, what makes you hide your face in fear?” –
Father, don't you see the Erlking?
The Erlking with crown and flowing robe? –
“My son, it's a wisp of fog.” –

“You dear child, come along with me!
Such lovely games I'll play with you;
Many colorful flowers are at the shore,
My mother has many a golden garment.”

My father, my father, and do you not hear
What the Erlking promises me so softly? –
“Be quiet, stay quiet, my child;
In the dry leaves the wind is rustling.” –

“Won't you come along with me, my fine boy?
My daughters shall attend to you so nicely.
My daughters do their nightly dance,
And they'll rock you and dance you and sing you to sleep.”

My father, my father, and do you not see over there
Erlking's daughters in that dark place? –
“My son, my son, I see it most definitely:
It's the willow trees looking so grey.”

“I love you; I'm charmed by your beautiful form;
And if you're not willing, then I'll use force.”
My father, my father, now he's grabbing hold of me!
Erlking has done me harm! –

The father shudders, he rides swiftly,
He holds in (his) arms the moaning child.
He reaches the farmhouse with effort and urgency.
In his arms the child was dead.

--------------

Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,
Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.

«Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?» –
Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht?
Den Erlenkönig mit Kron und Schweif? –
«Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif.» –

«Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir!
Gar schöne Spiele spiel' ich mit dir;
Manch bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand,
Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand.»

Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht,
Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht? –
«Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind;
In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind.» –

«Willst, feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehn?
Meine Töchter sollen dich warten schön;
Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reihn,
Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein.»
Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort
Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort? –
«Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh es genau:
Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau.»

«Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt;
Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch ich Gewalt.»
Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an!
Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan! –

Dem Vater grausets, er reitet geschwind,
Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind,
Erreicht den Hof mit Mühe und Not;
In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe -

After yesterday's incredibly sunny and warm start of our Wales visit, today was all rain and darkness, but we made the best of it, visiting diverse abandoned industrial sites, waterfalls and driving into some narrow farm ways to photograph Easter lambs amongst other things :)

this fellah was standing on top of a little hill we were passing by while driving on the highway. Its silhouette seemed a whole statement to me and I hope you can see it too :)
