Actually, this is a path within Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland. It is an infrared image and printed using the lith process, which accounts for some of its more interesting components.
Not long after taking this picture I was attacked by an army of flying insects, which had me literally running from the area. Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge is a wonderful place to visit, but there are times of the year when the bugs within the wooded areas just do not allow humans much time to linger.
Lovely image. We love Blackwater, but you’re right about the bugs. Come back in autumn. It’s perfect!
