Phil Riches has been taking advantage of the warm evenings and has found his milieu. His pictures of sunsets through the trees deserve a wider audience, so why he gave them to me is a mystery. It's only him and I that ever read this blog.
Sunlight can really bring a summer woodland to life as it finds its way through the canopy and this is especially true at sunset.
It's so great to take the time to stop and marvel at the lighting and atmosphere that it creates.
In this blog, Phil Riches has shared a number of his photos taken around sunset in Bicknor Wood.
Starting at Butterfly Glade, at the Gore Court Road end, you can see how the setting sun brings an impressive glow to the woodland and casts a deep orange tint to the trees facing it.
Here we see the sun just starting to set and the light quickly turning to a deeper orange.
From the other end of the woodland, we see glimpses of the sun setting from the large oak, near Burnt Oak Glade.
The coppice is really transformed with its deep red lighting and the casting of dramatic long shadows.
To finish, here are a few photos showing a shaft of light illuminating the woodland floor.
Within just a few minutes, the sun had set and the woodland started to slowly fall into darkness.
Next time you are taking a leisurely stroll on an early evening in summer, be sure to soak up the atmosphere and relish the moment.
