These pictures showed me that you find the best motifs when you least look out for them. I was hiking in the Harz mountains and needed to rush back to the train station to catch the last train home. The sun was already setting and I still had 8 km to go. My feet hurt and I was getting anxious. But on a steep narrow path I came across a little clearing where the grass swayed golden in the evening breeze. In front stood an old tree stump covered with lichen. How bizarre, I thought and stamped on downhill. However, somehow the scenery got stuck in my mind and I eventually stumbled back to the clearing and quickly took some close ups of the lichen against the grass in the background. I was already on the train home when I examined the results of my picture hunt and I realized that those were the best fotos of the day by far. What do you think?
To me it looks like a surreal landscape on a foreign planet I would definitely love to visit.
Here is a photo of the grass if you are curious:
