For the Thursday’s Special, Paula wrote: “I would like you to post again what you consider to be your best shot posted this year.”  So I looked through all my photos and rediscovered some shots.  That’s what I came up with tonight, if I were to look again tomorrow it might be a different one.

The Forest spirits of Oberotterbach

We were in the south western corner of Germany this weekend, almost in France.  On our hike we came across these most unusual sculptures – not made out of cut wood but out of tree stumps.  Because of this these “spirits of the forest” are naturally camouflaged.  I found it a pity that the artist thought he had to make his work more visible by adding colour, I like the idea of them blending in the forest even at the cost of maybe missing some of them.

I like the fact that the wood is still changing, splitting and finally rotting.

But if you are alone in these woods – beware of crocodile!
